Does anyone out there know what this thingy me bopper is?

Not often am I able to read 8 pages of posts, but I did with this one, hoping that the right answer would appear. But it didn't, so I will have to keep checking up on it. I don't have a clue, but sure enjoyed all the answers that were posted.

Just a guess. Really have no idea.

Sounds good and it looks as though I could use it for tath when I did macrame way back when, Hook on anything and the cords could hang down so you could start your knots. Maybe fisheren used it to do the knots for lobster pots, although I never seen a fishermen use this for his knots :-)

I think it is a ceremonial good luck quilter's charm! You shake it and chant before you start cutting your favorite fabrics! (If the answer is already out there - sorry, I didn't read all the way to the end of people's ideas.)
