Hi Cindy and Laurie,
It is a bobbin winder for the bobbins used with the old sock knitting
machines. There should be wooden spools with a base which would stand on a
table or the floor, on which the yarn was wound so it would run free without
tangling.
I believe these were standard accessories with most, if not all, circular
sock machines.

Hi Laurie,
I think it is a weaving bobbin winder, the long wooden ones used in the
weaving mills. We have a very similar one that came with our antique sock
knitter - don't know if it was meant for the sock knitter or just adapted
to be used with the sock knitter.
Happy lacing,
Cindy

Does this look like a bobbin winder to anyone? Thanks,
