Hi all,

The item in the attached photos was found in the garage of a 102 year old home my brother recently bought.  It looks like a cross between a large funnel, a colander, and a flour sifter.  It has a single handle on the outside of the largest section of the "funnel" and the only marking is on that handle.  It is marked "ATLANTIC" with the first A and the C being larger than the other letters.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

That appears to be an old milk strainer ....... used to filter the "dirt" out of the milk.

Someone I spoke to locally said the same thing.  That's two votes for milk strainer!  Thanks for your input!
