hoKayDen.
Found in an old barn, What is this?
Seriously, because no one we know seems to know. It's is apparently some kind of specialized sewing tool but for sewing what, and why the sliding halves? It appears there was another matching needle on the other half that broke off.

I'd send pictures to this guy, beau.

Might be for sewing grain bags, tobacco stalks, or the lips on shrunken heads?

It's the head-tool for a fracking drill.

By rotating the apparatus, the operator changes the direction.
The push/pull action of top piece is the actual drilling mechanism
They use wood to avoid sparks, which could cause an gas explosion.






Trust me, I stayed in a Holiday Inn last Friday night.

Rob replied that is a tool for rug hooking, and sent this link...

http://laurasrughooking.blogspot.com...g-machine.html

An anonymous poster at the blog called it a "speed shuttle".

Thanks again, y'all!

Cool, Grave nailed it. I had no idea because my Granny was an old school hooker.

Yes he did.
...and yes she was. She didn't need no fancy tools when she hooked. Her rug was easy to poke.

Sorry, couldn't pass that one up.
