Mary may be right. But usually incense burners for stick incense are wider
at the end to catch ashes. Please post when you find out what it is. It looks interesting. Marilyn "Mary" wrote in message ... It looks like a tray for burning stick incense. |

t: Yebbut there's nothing - no spool - on which to wind the yarn. it's not a shuttle. it might be a 'sword', but i've not seen a bone one, or one that shape. The person who's asked about it has now said that it was bought at a yard sale and they were told it was a shuttle - they didn't know! obviously neither did the seller... did they indicate where in the US it might have originated? lee -- Last night while sitting in my chair I pinged a host that wasn't there It wasn't there again today The host resolved to NSA. |

A sword isn't curved and doesn't need a depression. in any case, a sword of that length doesn't need to be anything special, I use a shuttle or piece of wood or bone or hand - anything available. The person who's asked about it has now said that it was bought at a yard sale and they were told it was a shuttle - they didn't know! obviously neither did the seller... did they indicate where in the US it might have originated? All my contact knows is what she was told. I think she's in Dakota. Mary |
