I'm gonna guess some type of early whisk?

The owners tried it as a whisk and said it was not very effective at that,
but if I had to pick one of the guesses I would still say whisk, just not
a
very well designed one. Other suggestions for it include: pot scraper,
rug
beater, carpet cleaner, and pipe scraper. Looks like it's still a mystery
for now.

What did folks use to clean cast iron stoves ~200 years ago?
