Alan,  I suspect it was a sled for hand picking corn.  Somewhere to throw 
the corn as you walked and snapped ears but that's just an educated guess 
having seen similar sleds for harvesting tobacco.

" He shortened the two tongues in the 2 row horse drawn corn sled and made
a compact pull type two row sled.   The horse drawn sled took every other
row, with a pole connecting the two one-row sleds, and the operator sat on a
seat in the middle between the two sleds. "

Herb, different locale and terms, along with being a bit younger than you
are leaves me wondering just what corn sleds are/do.
