[QUOTE="Pat P, post: 124397, member: 201"]Laura, thanks so much for the term "thread winder." After googling it, it's clear that is the appropriate name for this type of item. Welcome to Antiquers, Annie, and thanks for your comments. It was among my mother's things, which means it's probably no more recent than the 1980s, but could be a lot older. Some of the things my mother had were my grandmother's and she's the one who was born in Russia and came to the U.S. in the 1880s. Beyond that, I don't know anything about the origin.[/QUOTE]
