Need help with this old hand tool....
« on: August 25, 2013, 03:23:04 PM »
ENGLAND is the only marking I can see on it. Looks like some sort of a sewing/knitting tool maybe.  Just clueless and have been browsing for days to see something like it with no luck.  Thanks in advance.

You aren't.  There was another thread a while back on exactly this subject.

That is the fanciest one that I have seen. Before I read the thread, I guessed that was what it was, but then my head said no, it's too fancy. Nice one!
