The complete link for the mystery tool is here and here

“Withniks,

Perhaps you can help with this puzzle. We have, in our very small museum, this tool:
http://people.whitman.edu/~lermanne/museum/What-is-this.html

If you could tell me of a similar tool, a person who may know about it, or any published information on such tools, the student in my Social History of Stuff” class who adopted it for her “artifact journal” (and indeed the museum staff) will be most grateful.

Many thanks! Nina”

    Here in Townsville we believe this to be a home-made craft tool. If small, probably for poker work. If big enough to hold between the knees - probably basket work.
