Could the curved metal piece be where you place your index finger to press down, or a protective piece?

I think we are vintage now :lol: But like fine wine, we get better with age :-D The sad thing about this is that Home Ec is not even offered in many schools today. Not that I liked it...far from it. Who would have ever thought that being a quiltmaker was lurking in my future.,.,certainly not me. The same for geometry :thumbdown: now I use it for figuring out triangles and settings. I keep a tracing wheel and other odds and ends around in my sewing room to remind me just how far I've come.

I think only us "more mature" quilters/sewers know what that is.
The neighbors granddaughter was trying to us grandma's phone to call her mom.
She was pushing the numbers but nothing would happen. It was a dial phone and she had no clue how to use it.
Times, they are a changin
