Kitchen utensil...but what?

I realize this is not a junk creation or part of one...YET! But does anyone know what it is used for in the kitchen? I found this one in a basket with several more at my local Episcapol Church Thrift Store. No one knew it's use, but once I picked this one up, everyone else became interested and the rest are probably gone by now. It is ART to me, but curiousity is about to get the best of me. I decided to ask the "Junkers in the Know". A whisk, maybe?

artteachergirl writes: I think SunnySouthJunker may just be right. I thought more along those lines too...something to hold the eggs in the dye for Easter eggs. Whatever it is I love the shape and lines of it and it will hang in my kitchen for a bit. Thanks all! Posted: 12:34 pm on February 20th

artteachergirl writes: Thanks for your help!! One of the little ladies at the thrift store also said an egg separator, and that brought on a big discussion on the yolk falling through. This was a hot topic there! There was one there that looked like this one, but it had two little clamp like parts to it. This one got me to wondering if they are Easter egg dyers. Just place the egg in and dip it in the coloring...hmmmmmm!
Thanks again! Posted: 6:54 pm on February 18th

RustyDiva writes: I see these and thought it was an egg separator also. It cradles the yolk while allowing the whites to drip through. Posted: 2:53 pm on February 18th
