I inherited this whimsical object along with several other woodworking tools.

enter image description here

The item resembles a stepladder, albeit a very small one (about 50cm). A hinge is connecting the two main sides - one being some sort of rack and the other a slightly thinner solid board. The third side is probably a ratchet gear rack, although when the object is oriented the way it is in the photo, the ratchet gear rack is pulled down and away from the pawl, negating the functionality. The item is fully made of wood and not more than 80 years old.

What is this adjustable/foldable rack for?
