Mind toy. Don’t ever say they didn’t have a sense of humor.

Very interesting! Thanks. I am more of a crocheter than a knitter, and can see that it would be very easy to finish off the glove with a crochet hook. They would have to had a crochet hook, probably carved from wood and would not survive after so many years.

It was a toy, you could spin it like a top.

The holes would make a sound as the the top was spun.

The different size holes would make different sounds, depending of what knob was used to spin the device.

With all the different holes and numbers of knobs, and different sizes of the devices, several of the devices could be spun simultaneously to achieve a musical chord.

My theory.........................

It’s a frammis valve for a turboencabulator.

Ooops?

It's the knitting thing others covered. No point fixing it.

Thanks for letting me know.

Maybe they were pearling instead, hence those round things on the corners, probably where the name came from.

Gimel the Nun... wasn’t she in the Hebrew School production of “The Fellowship of the Ring”?

Okay, so, I didn’t pull that one off...

The archeologists ALWAYS end up saying whatever it is they find they cannot explain was an object of some religious significance.

So easy to figure out.

It’s a disgronificator.

Oops! Well, that’s two votes for the disgronificator.

I know we are right!
