Humpday Triviola

Another soggy and cool fall day here in the Foothills. I'd like to be in the workshop today with a hot cup of Joe. But since I'm trapped here in the office I guess I'll do the next best thing....tosing out some triviola.....

This wooden creation was first patented in 1892 by an African American woman. It has since become a staple in most American households, albeit in various updated forms.

What is it?

Would that be an Ironing board? Possibly Sarah Boone's patent?

It's a hot pan remover for taking pans out of the oven
