I rescued this hand crank this morning and it looks like a giant bobbin winder. Does anyone know what it is? Does anyone know what this is used for?

My first guess would be a tool to wind yarn into a ball. I have a similar item that is made of plastic and used to wind embroidery floss onto cards.

Hand powered grinding wheel?

Ken,
I'm wondering if this isn't a crank, used for editing film. Editors would have film reels on either side, with a film viewer and a splicing block in between. I couldn't think of the name of it, J and I looked online. If this is right it is called a film winder. John |
Reminds me of something that should have a sharpening stone on it for knives, axes, shovels, hoes.

That bottom line says New York, I think. The top line looks like Power Co. Barny Maybe Poale Co. ha,ha.

cool looking whatever it is

I'm still not entirely sure of the "proper name" for it but with all the clues I found "N POWER CO" was located in New York. The company produced the cameragraph and was started by Nicholas Power in the very early 1900's. Maybe not a very good example but found http://www.ebay.com/itm/361343725878
