DescriptionTwo wooden spools. Long cylindrical dowels with rounded pieces at both ends. Both spools are hollow all the way through. It seems as though the dowels were hollowed out by a machine because of how straight they are, and then the ends were put on around the end of each. Refer to drawings on written record.
