Yes indeed a tatting shuttle. I have some tatting that belonged to my great-grandmother. My grandma gave it to me and I carried it in my wedding bouquet 44 years ago next week. Tatting is another one of those hand crafted skills that has amost disappeared as quilting did before its resurgnence.

It is for tatting...I think it's called a shuttle. My mother used to make tatting for the edges of pillowcases, baby clothes, etc. Of the four girls, only one learned to tat. That picture brought back so many memories of my mother sitting in her rocking chair with her tatting. Thanks for the memories.
