Clay, I think it must have once been the handle to something as the "spangle" end looks like it went into something. A stick base for a fan or a doll's parasol? In any case is sure is strange!
Trish in sunny West Virginia > I do enjoy seeing some of the strange things people associate with lace. This is a "bobbin" which someone may have spangled after deciding it was a bobbin... or it may have actually been used by a lacemaker (who was being resourceful?)
