Anyone know what in the world this is (other than something that needs cleaning)? I'm stuck with this.

That is a Aebleskiver pan.  Used for making a round Danish style pancake "puff" that is usually filled with a fruit compote, like applesauce.

I have several aebleskiver pans of different vintage (including one odd one I need to picture and ask about), but I was thinking this might be something different- mostly because of the three little 'feet'.

The John Wright foundry in PA has those listed in their catalogs from the 1970's. They also made them in a silvery finish. There are some real old ones like it that have 3 to 4 inch long legs. Those were for cooking with live coals underneath.
If you're that bored with it, you can always send it to me!

Thanks for the ID.  I'd love to find a long legged one, savory aebleskivers would make a great camping dinner.  I don't think I'm going to pack this for my big move.
