. . . just a guess . . .
Could it be a thing to hold your bobbin of thread while you reel off
what you need, such as when needing both hands to wind thread on to a
lace bobbin? I have something like that, but I can't remember what it's
called - and I can't judge the size of the item in your photographs.

Sorry to post to both boards, but sister Jacquie has asked me to post the
following pictures for some urgent help in identifying this object. She
urgently needs to find out what this is before the end of the weekend.

Here is the text of her message to me - she is away this weekend
"Just arrived at Dover and been shown this thing by Pat Read. What is
it, she wants to know, and was sure I would know. Well, I haven't a
clue but do know the way we might fond out. .
"It is NOT a bobbin display thingy (no slots for the necks). On the top
ring there are small holes on top, at the sides and grooves on the
back (see photos). The top comes off but I don't think it should.
"The base has holes on the top only. Size is about the same as a bobbin
display."
Thanks for all your help. I bet someone knows what it is.

Dover for the weekend.
