The title does say "lace bobbin". The word lace is missing from the description.
I thought needle case, but with no ends, needles would fall out.
It's not clear if the grooves each end are a screw threads to take a screw on
cap or just rings.
Rollers for lace don't usually dip in the middle.
Looks too new for animal ivory, but could be vegetable ivory. or as has been
suggest some sort of plastic.
Used as a knife rest, it would roll.
My favourite suggest is a bead for a door curtain, but I'm not convinced about
that.
