Just to add more fuel to the cornfusion, the shuttle(in literature and
elsewhere)was sometimes referred to as a tatting "needle".  Whether it be
shuttle shaped(traditional) or more like a netting needle.  I know this
because there is one such example of a "Myers Tatting Needle" by the St.
Louis Needle Co.  I have physically seen and touched this sample that
resides in the historical museum in Vandalia, IL.  I have only seen this so
called "needle" once on ebay.  So it is a rare find.  It resembles more of a
netting needle only is flat and broad and is only 3 inches long.  I only
wish that I was affiliated with this "tatting needle" because of my namesake
and that I live right by St. Louis, MO!!!  Just to have my own "Myers
Tatting Needle" would be so cool!  I have searched.  Keep your eyes open!!
