I have no idea. At first glace it looks like an electrical box for home wiring, but then when you look at it closer, you see nothing to back that theory up other than the color and general shape.

I'm imagining a spring wound spool in the center with two strings or cables coming off of it, and a lever action button on top to release/lock the spool. It looks like the two strings/cables would come out where those notches on the bottom are. But they are fully retracted right now.

What is it? I have no idea. What retracts? Some sort of double action retractable clothes line?

Edit: Actually if I go with my clothes line theory, the the cables make a 90 degree turn and come out the front.
