I bought a vintage Crossley shuttle on ebay and I'm not sure how to use it or if it can be used. The end of the pirn rests on the bottom of the shuttle which would prevent the yarn from feeding. The pin that holds the pirn is also a little skewed and am not sure if that can be fixed without breaking - or if it actually needs to be fixed. I think that this might be a flying shuttle and have only seen them used online and don't know anything about the mechanics. I'm not sure of the original setup, but there is a white collar near the pirn hinge that, if removed or reduced would allow the pirn to move closer to the hinge so that the end would not be resting on the wood and would eliminate the feed issue. I wouldn't mind keeping it as a piece of a bygone era if it doesn't work but any advice would be appreciated.
