It's a rocking print tray! I think Nikor was one maker, maybe also Soligor. You put your paper in there and a little bit of chemicals and rock it back and forth, sloshing the chems over the print. Kind of a cross between tray processing and drum processing
Yep, rocker tray, also called a "canoe" tray because of the shape. There are other types of rocker trays, but yours is a true canoe tray. They are supposed to save on chems.
Well, the Mitchell Color Canoe is probably going in the trash with the bell bottoms and my old Heathkit timer, which magically died the day I bought my f-stop timer from you. Coincidence? I think not.
I believe they were for color, but they could be advantageous for the extended times, and higher temperatures, of lith printing.
Don't toss it. I think you'll find a lith printer willing to take it off your hands.

Parker- That's why I mentioned it. I once had one. Somewhere, over the years, it disappeared. When I tried lith printing I thought it would have been a good tool to have.
Don't toss it. They are handy when one needs to make just one print without setting up trays and chemicals. It takes maybe two ounces or less for the 11x14 Color Canoe. I remove the wire bail from mine. It then works with slightly less chemicals.
