This looks to me to be like the penholder that is shown in Christine
Springetts book Success to the Lace Pillow, this book is full of pictures
and text on old lace bobbins. There is a photo on page 29 of an inscribed
bone pen holder that looks very similar to this wodden object on e.bay. In
one of the photos even looks to have a little hole near the top as shown in
the wooden one on e.bay.

<<Can anyone put this seller (and me) our of their misery. This item has
been
relisted with exactly the same description as when it didn't sell.
As usual, something unidentifiable has been described as "believed to be an
old-fashioned lacemaking bobbin". I canlt imagine a use for it for
lacemaking or anything else othee than a skittle in some kind of pub game.
