BOARD WITH SPRING LOADED WROUGHT IRON

This item, I am not completely sure what it is, but it was with Rock's things.

It looks very old and is in excellent condition.

If someone out there knows what it is, I hope they will let me know.

Measures:  40" x 5.75" x 3"  & Heavy.

I was just informed that it might be a Christmas Wrapping Paper cutter.  

To use it you put it at the end of a roll, pull out your disired length and cut it with the bar.  The spring loaded part keeps it in close contact with the roll at all times.  

Rock did buy truckloads of presents during holidays and espically during Christmas time.  He would have used a commerical type paper cutter, that was just like him.
