Hmmm, how big is it?  Does it fold?

Okay...I KNOW WHAT THAT IS!!! (I love old medical items/history and know lots of people that collect the odd items!)

It is a wooden medical foot stool for gout!  Just Google Antique Wooden Gout Stool and you will see a bunch of them!

Here's another one for sale on ebay!
