Ask the Old Farmer: While browsing in an antique
shop in Austin, Texas, I ran across an object which is
entirely wood except for two small hinges at the bot
tom These hinges are inserted so that one could turn
the item inside out and not break it I bought it, can
you tell me what it is’ VR , Dallas, Texas
