I think it is an antique, I am guessing it is made out of maple, and it stands about 36 inches at the top. The entire thing is made out of wood including the wooden rivets holding it all together. It looks like an acorn, that slides into another half acorn on the bottom. It’s clearly meant to hold something but I have no idea what. The woman I bought it from had no idea what it was, she was cleaning out her mother-in-laws garage and having a sale. I like it, but have no clue what it is…maybe some sort of sewing accessory?
Any ideas?
