    Information such as any writing, etching on the tool or information on when and where it was bought might help identify.

    To me that looks like it's the handle for something, and that this 'something' is supposed to slide over the wires - the springiness of the wires holding it on. Similarly to the way in which a paint roller can be separated into the handle (with springy wires) and the actual roller (a cylinder which slides over the wires).

  • I'm actually thinking something that is meant to stretch muslin or other cloth for sifting, but not really sure.

    This looks like a duster to me. I have one that looks identical; it has a microfiber cloth with a pocket that slips over the wires. Similar to amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Microfiber-Duster/dp/B00940DV6W.

I actually think that is an old-style duster handle, not a food processing tool. Used with disposable dusting units with a tube that slides over then handle. It is clearly not for cooking IMHO. Something like this more modern unit. I could be wrong, but that's certainly what it looks like> enter image description here
