But there was one reasonable guess, anyway, leave it to Mr. Kruse to come the closest...

It's actually a lingerie hanger, from the days when ladies used to hand-launder their dainties ...mainly used for a pair of nylons, before the pantyhose days .

Don, did the items come in a plastic box with the Sahara Tahoe logo? Years ago Dave Smith posted a similar question about a hanger...when he found out what it was, he promptly sent it to me, as he didn't want to be caught with it in his collection!

I wonder if Dave is still collecting...he's a nice guy, hope all is well with him.
