When I first saw it, I thought “crumb catcher” too.

I think it might be one of those things where over the years it got repurposed.

Sure does get a super crisp line on linens, though.

Huh. You learn something new every day! I would have guessed crumb catcher too. Thanks for satisfying my curiousity!

Shocked! I really thought it was a crumb catcher… my grandmother used to use one just like it to get crumbs off of the tablecloth between dinner and dessert!

Hey there Jill.

Believe it or not, the above item is a linen straightener used to work wrinkles and creases out of table cloths. Because as we all know, it’s very important to have an unblemished, crisp table cloth.
