Transcript

Does anyone know what this was used for? It has a VERY specific purpose. I spotted this unusual piece for sale at the Brimfield Antiques Market. The dealer was asking around $200 and told me it dated to the 17th century. I had my doubts about the age…but I do know exactly what this tool was designed to do. Any guesses?
