"Salad spinner" hmmppff.

this may be a salad spinner. (it das no rigid parts and must be hung to have a shape)

But this wonderful gadget..(new view) is WAY beyond a lettuce scruncher. (Right now it is serving as a stand for my digital camera)

I am suspecting that some of you may have something in identifying it as an alien artifact. ....Still, if anyone can supply a name that I can find similar items by, I might not try to call ET's home with it.
