I was going through my equipment today, trying to add a little organization 
when I came upon this pair of...somethings. They came with the Wilton Gum paste kit I bought a while ago (book, cutters, pads, ball tool, etc) but they were not on the list of items included in the kit. I had just put them aside, but now it's bugging me. Does anyone know what they heck they are??? They don't fit together or with anything else I can think of. They don't stand on their own, or support the book. 
They look like the would fit together in the little short notch perpendicular to the long axis. Then perhaps they would stand up on the short straight side to hold your book. I know you said it didn't hold the book, but that is what it looks like to me.
They are "easel" legs that you prop your practice boards upon so that you can learn to pipe at an angle. Not sure why they would have been in a gumpaste kit. Mine did not come with one. However, I did get one in the kit that teaches different piping techniques.
It's supposed to be used with the patterns that teach you how to pipe on the side of a cake - swiss dots, drop strings, rosebuds, etc.

it is the support for the plastic covered board that comes in the kit. The 2 notches go together and it stands like an "X". I have them too....never used them.
But why would you want your plastic covered board to do anything but lay flat on your work surface?
The piping practice easel makes sense...maybe they included them in the wrong kit by mistake. (I don't have the piping kit it would/should/could have come in)
Thanks for the replies.
This came with my gumpaste flower kit. I use it to hold the instruction book in front of me as I do the flowers. Snap the two center notches together. I leave it put together and just pull it out when Im doing the flowers.
It is the practice board stand. You can use it to practice piping items that go on the side of a cake. Examples would be string work and ruffles.
Unless I am mistake, the stand is packaged with the practice board in plastic. So instead of separating the two when they go in the gum paste kit they keep them together.
It is sort of like how you get all 4 lily flower nails in the C3 Kit when you only use one of them in class. It is cheaper to keep the set together in plastic than it is to have the one lily nail packaged separately just for the kit.

HINT: Great use for the plastic covered boards (I have three.) When you are cutting out multiple petals (as in roses) or multiple flowers (as in daisies) the board is an awesome tool for keeping the gumpaste from drying out. Cut out what you need, place them under the plastic, work one flower at a time and have no worries that your next piece of gumpaste has started to dry out while you were finessing the last.
