Malvary does have a point (pun intended, if you like). The end of the
thingy does look like the yad (hand) that is used to point at the
words in the Torah! I know nothing about the chocolate thingys, so
can't compare. But, the length of the yad is usually not longer than
about 8 and the 2 end
Hi Arachnids!
I haven't been following this thread closely, but all the discussion on this
finally prompted me to take a look at the thingy. It looks to me like it could
be a drop spindle for hand spinning. The reason I suggest is that I have

She may shudder that I have taken her public, but our good friend, Alice
Howell, has just broken her left wrist and will be hobbled for at least the
next six weeks. We probably won't hear as much from her during that time, but
since she can't make lace for a while, I suspect
I don't like to send this to the list, but I seem to have hit a blank when
it comes to the card exchange.
I sent an email to Alice (off list) when the exchange was first being
