I bought an old 22.5 and this came with it. The older man who sold it to me didn't know what it was. I think it's a corn and potato holder. It sets over the grill perfectly. Does anyone out there have one? I would like to try it but it's really rusty.
You are correct. I saw one on ebay recently and it was described as a corn and potato holder. I believe it was a Weber product. The packaging looked very old on the ebay item.

I was lucky enough to find one a couple of years ago on ebay. It was in the original packaging with a date of 1977 on it. My father used one for years and it's a lot sturdier than the ones that Weber sells now.
I got one about one month ago. It was brand new with a aged box--1970s? I had never seen one before. It works beautifully with all kinds of potatoes and you do not need the cooking grate either: it will sit on the internal clips.
