I was going to put it under the Antique section on Craigslist, and hope an antique enthusiast would snag it. But I wanted to be able to label what it is!

Rather then just: "well, here's an... old wood- thing. FOR SALE!"

No, no one in my family ever quilted as far as I am aware.

Well I was planing on selling it, so hopefully I can find out what it is soon enough... =/

KC & mart you're right. I was able to get a hold of it again and though at first it was jammed- I finally got the second part to unfold. It stands like a table but like a very unusual one...

This is what it looks like now:

- http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp106/DelicateMelodies/IMG_3778.jpg

Top: http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp106/DelicateMelodies/IMG_3759.jpg

Side with bar with grids and metal hooks: http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp106/DelicateMelodies/IMG_3757.jpg

Other Side: http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp106/DelicateMelodies/IMG_3773.jpg

It looks like there is a screw where I could adjust the length of it, but that screw is too rusted over to do so.

So what do you think?

My grandfather's guess was that its purpose was to hold some type of old fashion graph, which would explain the front and back 2 layers of wood as well as the suspended metal base and top- as if it to frame something. But he was unsure.

VERY BIG EDIT: Apparently, I heard him wrong- his guess was that it was something to hold an old fashion mimeograph.

Looks like the front part of this one also folds out !!

I was thinking of that possibly, I didn't spend enough time with it tinkering to find out for certain. But the bottom stand very easily unfolds...

Its very short, about a foot.

When I first glanced at it folded up I thought it was one of those old fashion boards clothes were scrubbed on, then realized those had grid surfaces and this did not. (And then I further realized this could unfolded and stand up by itself)

-I asked my grandfather what is was, and he wasn't sure. So I went to yahoo answers and got no reply. Since I have no idea what it is, there's nothing on google I can even begin to guess what to search on to find out exactly what it is.
-Can you help me identify it? Specifically what's it called...?

Thank you for your time,
Christine Grace
