Certainly Christian, can you send me an outside email offlist? For some reason, it's not letting me upload the image file link to the listserve.

> I have a patron that has offered us a spool of thread for our textile collection and I was wondering if anyone in the list has seen a spool of this type before and might could offer any insight into it's use, etc.  It is made of a light wood, rectangular in shape, appears to be two handcarved pieces with two smaller dowls pierced through, one at each end and the thread/cord is a heavier gauge cotton. I'm told it might have come from somewhere south of the border - Central or possibly South America. No ideas on age. Based on the lack of local provenance, we are hesitant to take it, but I assured her I would do more research before making a decision. Please email me off list if you wish to see images. Any help is much appreciated!
