as he's the curator you may be right, could be a M~F kinda gig, otherwise I believe most museums are open over the weekends.......

btw, my guess is (along with many others) that it's an exercise pin, Giggles guess is excellent as well.


damn, I'm overdue for some meds.

Hey Snook, a google search shows one just like it only 12" long and a miniature look-a-like glove darner 8" long.

How big are the ends on your piece? Big enough for a sock or bigger?

Could be an INDUSTRIAL size sock darner!!!:bigeye:

..... hard to believe that at one time ALL socks were hand-knit AND darned, prolly more than once!:tiphat:

I've seen my grandmother darn a couple socks on a lightbulb. Bulb wasn't large enough... Bet you might have a winner w that answer. Post is long enough that you could set it on the floor while you DARN IT.

this could take some time... I'll go looking for wood museums.. they're a little out of my purview... (<like that word?? :biggrin:) I find some things amuse me like the work 'purview' - what a cat does when looking at prey.:laughing:... they should have 3 more like this one : one pointing left, one pointing right and a fourth pointing down..
sorry for rambling, mornin vapes on GB bx2 early harvested buds and whacked.

If that thing is a sock utilization tool,Ill be darned.

:laughing: Hey, don't laugh, when sock factories come back to the USA we'll ALL have to learn to darn 'em and get a double-ended wooden darner cause they'll be sooo expensive!;)

..... but at least you'll be ahead of the pack 'cause you'll know what one is!:tiphat:
