I make bobbin lace, but I have never seen anything like this before.

I learned to make bobbin lace years ago when I lived in Suffolk. Loved it but have not had it out for a while. Hope I remember!

I was thinking tie hanger but belt hanger may be better

It looks like a bobbin for Bobbin Lace. I have never made it but I have watched demonstration several times. There usually is several threads and each has it's own bobbin.

I would say the round ring just holds all the bobbins together. You would take them off the ring to make the lace.

Wow it's hard to believe one of us don't know what this is! Although some of the guesses are probably better than what it really is. LOL
