My guess would be a clothes hanger ?

Something homemade to hold milker hoses???

I think part of it is missing. My guess is an adjustable deadman for supporting ceiling material or something overhead while it is being fastened, that would be the top piece. That would explain the dark grooves. Thats my wag and im stickin to it.

I"d guess it would be mounted on the wall to hold whatever you want to hang up, maybe harness.

Might be a 5 strand barb wire stretcher.

I'm voting for the clothes bar also. Fold in against the wall when you don't need it. Open it up put clothes on hangers on it to dry.

Clothes hanger. It doesn't look to me like it can carry more than ten pounds to me. Jim

My mother had one some what like that one but it had multiple hangers on the same pivot. She used it for drying towels near the wood stove. When not in use just swivel the hangers against the wall.
Also in the winter, used to dry mittens and socks.

I've got one in the laundry room. Handy as heck for clothes. Mine was purchased.

I'm thinking was close to ironing board. After ironing blouse or shirt hang hanger on it

It's a bridge for Paul Bunyan's banjo.

My Mother had something similar. Flat board screws to the wall (black notches up) next to the ironing board. When ironing shirts, you hang the clothes hanger with the freshly pressed shirt on the bar (one hanger per notch). When the bar is full you take the shirts to the closet. Folds out of the way against the wall when not in use.
