Vintage Bird Bobbin Windoer - how does it work?
My daughter gave me this for my birthday yesterday and I am kerflummoxed. The spool holder spins around (if you push it) but the metal holder in the middle doesn't spin. The bird has a hole at the back of its head which goes straight down to the bottom of its beak, so you can run thread through to the short metal bobbin holder.
But how does it work? How old do you think it is? Was it decorative or functional?
Thanks for looking!
