I hope you'll all forgive me if I argue with myself here! I just looked at the
item again, and the seller calles it a "Oeil Magique". DUH!! That tells me
that in all probability, there *IS* an eye there, and this is what we call a
"Lazy Susan".

Hi Laurie,
This looks like a vice to hold the pins/needles below it.
Possibly a seriously mishandled pricker! Where all the pricking needles have
got badly bent! Grin!
More sensibly - I think Clay is right

Hi Jay !
I agree, it's for sewings. With an eye, it's a Lazy Susan, without an eye,

Susan.

Very interesting! To me, it looks like several needlepins (with handle), for
all of those sewings that I avoid!!
The fact that there are three hooks make me think they may be somewhat fragile
if handled roughly. There is a finesse to sewings with a needlepin, and
perhaps the "modern" ones don
Could it be a tool for making sewings? If there is an eye at the bottom of
the curved replaceable pieces it could be a lazy Susan.

I have a feeling that the painting you are describing was painted by Roy
Hirst, but the only reference on "Lace" magazine's index is to an article
about Barbara & Roy Hirst - issue 71 page 6.
I can search this index by title or author. Lacemaker is too vague - almost
every other article includ
