Looks like an accessory for their charcoal business.

They were offered by Ford in the 30's to sell the charcoal brackets he & Kingsford developed to eliminate waste wood products in the factory. They came in three sizes, #10, #20, #30. I see them occasionally on Epay under "Ford charcoal grill", anywhere from $100 to $400.
