vintage **powder sprinkler or duster**

used for sprinkling powdered substances. It was likely used in the kitchen or for medicinal purposes. The cork stopper suggests it was inserted into a bottle or jar containing the powder, and the metal cap with small holes allowed for controlled dispensing of the powder.

Common Uses:
– **Kitchen:** It could have been used to sprinkle flour, powdered sugar, or spices onto food.
– **Medicinal:** It might have been used to dispense medicinal powders like talc or baking soda for first aid purposes.

This type of tool was more common in earlier times when powdered ingredients or remedies were stored in bulk containers and needed to be applied with precision.
