A "Toy" from My Past
As a child my grandparents and then parents ran an old fashioned general store similar to what you see on shows like The Waltons. I use to spin this and make a guess as to how many little tubes (filled with machine needles) I would see when I opened the door. Needless to say it didn't take much to keep me amused! On a recent trip back to Pennsylvania, my DSL asked if I wanted this....OF COURSE!! Not sure what I will do with it but a cool memory from my past.

I agree with Tartan. Depending on the size, it would look great displayed in your sewing room (if you have one) or even in a rec room or a finished laundry room (if you have one of those).
