They were used in this country by the pioneer women who cooked on old fashioned wood stoves.

YES they are a real item but the younger generations seem to have never seen them.
In the past when everything was cooked in heavy cast iron pots and baking pans the racks were much harder to pull out and push back in!

Heiko, it is oven pulls we down under refer to them as oven tray tools, they are for pulling a hot tray from the oven to see if the pan holding the food is cooked, it is instead of using and oven cloth

The ones I make are for pulling and pushing the racks in and out of the oven.  It is a novelty item and when people find out what they are, they need one.  It's all about the marketing.  I bought one at a craft show probably 25 years ago.  I rarely use it for the oven but it has looked good on my kitchen wall for years.
