My wife loves old-looking things so we picked up this item at an estate sale. Based on the little we found on the Internet (including eBay pictures), it has something to do with weaving. Couldn't figure out if I could add more than one picture, but I have other close-ups. The green Lable, in the middle, says "Made by, The Whitaker Reed Co., Wocester, Mass. U.S.A.".
Can someone help us identify when it was made, if it's part of another machine, possible value, etc.?
Thank you.
