"It looks like it screws into something. Perhaps it's a decorative top to a tiered bon bon server."

What is this?

A neighbor gave me this and said it was her grandmother's used for tatting. Well I know that is NOT what it is, but the lacy pattern and the bobbin-like shape of the handle makes me think it was part of something someone devised to work with lace. It has a threaded post on the opposite side that would have been screwed into something. Has anyone ever seen anything like it? I am not sure the images are going to show up. The object is about 1.5 inch long.See More

"I guess the link did not work - try again - https://collection.cooperhewitt.org/objects/18380901/ Maybe you have to type it in if the link does not get you to the pillow. I know the extra panel on the back of the pillow is supposed to function…"

"Somehow my reply does not seem to have made it - perhaps because I tried to upload an image? I will try again. As I see it this woman could be making lace on a domed box type of pillow with a surface at the back to secure the finished…"

Actually going back to tatting now is good, it is nice to have something small to sit and do now and again. Split rings, Mock rings, and Split chains were not invented when I originally learned, - and I have just been shown how to do split rings, - and they are so useful!! Take up tatting again - for those quiet times of waiting around - like in Dr. waiting rooms - which we seem to do a lot recently!
