It reminds me of “tatting shuttles” my mother used to have. She made many edgings for towels and other such items as presents for friends over the years. I seem to remember that the origin of “tatting” was from sailors who repaired sails and nets and such.

A shuttle
Yep, shuttle for making/repairing fishing nets.
Badly maintained bobbin shuttles. The center piece, a thick wire or narrow rod, holds a long bobbin that you load on a mechanical bobbin loader, or by hand if you suck.
Reason they’re badly maintained is they are rusty. No self-respecting weaver would allow rusty crap near their work.
Don’t you watch the junk shows, I mean, pickers shows?
That’s not rust. It’s PATINA!
Makes it more valuable to the suckers!
The movie “Wanted” I believe. Snatch the shuttle cock from the machine.
Looks like z shuttle for weaving.
Shuttle for weaving fabric.
