This has been fun. O.K. I will tell you. It is a shuttle to make fabric or yarn in the milling industry. There is a little bead on top that goes back and forth. The little metal curved piece goes up and down. I thought you would all enjoy something like this.

Do you know what a "sad iron" looks like? Do you know why it was called a "sad iron"?
