Mystery notion
Hello fellow enthusiasts, I have another mystery item that arrived with a local CraigsList purchase of a vintage Burlington sewing box/stool that was filled with sewing notions. The center knob shown in the photo retracts the spokes into the wheel. Does anyone know what it's purpose is?

I think it might be a daisy maker? You wrapped yarn around the spooks to form a daisy, you sewed the center and then retracted the spooks to pop it off. The daisies were then crocheted together to form a lacy blanket. I could be totally wrong though.
