Mystery Item

in #life6 years ago

A couple of weeks ago, I bought a grab bag from a thrift store for a couple of dollars and this gadget was in there. I have no idea what it is or what it is used for . . . Do you?

I looks like it could be some kind of leather working tool. Very intriguing. #Hmmmm

It must be from an old sewing machine. You just don't have a needle in it... Maybe?

I found it! It is an antique rug making latch hook tool. I found several images using the google search tool along with the suggestion from @aquatarkus, @beatking13, and @pyemoney. It is rare and was used to make rugs during the Victorian era along with a crochet hook. Wow! Thanks guys.

That sounds like it may be a possibility. I never thought that it could be related to sewing or crafts. Great guess.

Still a mystery to me @jluvs2fly. It looks like a item that is used to thread something.
