As a knitter & historian, I can't see how the second object might be
used. A pic would help.

?My 'racket' is definately a sewing/knitting tool of some kind. It
came in a lot of sewing items; also in the lot is a piece (same
plastic) that at first looks like a baby pacifier. It is a 5" stick
with small loop at one end and a disc about the size of a fifty cent
coin, is pierced and mounted on the stick. The other end is slightly
like a tweezer, but not manipulative.
Anyone want to guess this one?

Subject: Re: [h-cost] Unidenitified objectI bought something
identical to it from Goody hair accessories back in
the early 80's. It was for doing rolled, 40's style hairdos, and I
believe it was a repro of something from that time. You were supposed
to catch the ends of your hair between the two halves and then roll it
up. I never could make it work properly.

Subject: Re: [h-cost] Unidenitified objectIt may not be the same
thing but I have seen something similar to it. One
was used for the mouth of a yarn bag. The other use was for sewing
but I
can't remeber what specifically for and I had the impression that it
was an
adaptation to what it's original purpose was.
Sorry,

This was found in my grandmother's things after she passed. She kept
it with her sewing stuff although that doesn't necessarily mean it's
sewing-related. Any idea what it is?
