It's a cake pan I use to catch the overflow from the ash pan. The pan swings out and if I accidentally over fill it, heaps of ash gets leveled off by the ash drop. The pan catches that and the occasional red-hot bouncer that might fall out from behind the grill when I do more extensive knifing under the front grill beneath the load of burning coal. It hasn't been emptied in a while, I just shove it under the stove.

It's a real time picture showing normal operating status!

That was taken about 6 hrs after the morning care and feeding.

Beautiful blue dancers! I like the drying racks. We often dry sweaters and such on a potable rack near the stove. Practicality usually rules around here.

Here too. Daughter, who lives in NYC, came back for a visit with a few loads of laundry. She broke out the accordion style racks, strung out her sweaters and curled up on the sofa for a nap. Old times there for a fleeting moment.

A few years back our electric cloths dryer stopped heating. We employed 3 accordion style drying racks and one antique wagon weel Mom used that I think was my grandmother's. We went the entire winter that way. If something was board stiff, it went into the dryer and was tumbled until it softened. Never had to run a humidifier that year!

It's an 18" long dust mop pad. It Velcros onto the same mop head that the other drying mop pieces do. Works great.
