Title: What is it?
Post by: Skinny on June 24, 2017, 04:25:54 PM

It's  eight inches long, somewhat heavy wood, hollow. It has holes  going through it in various places. There is a brass ring around the outside rim of the thick end, and a brass ring around the inside of the hole on that same end. The metal as well as the wood on that end is quite worn and beat up. I have no idea what this is

Ahh yes, that's what it is alright. I thought it might have  to do with yarn or something
