What is this?

[Snakeoil]

This was in the drawer of my 29K70. I'm trying to figure out what it is/does.

There is a small hole in the rounded bottom. I thought it might be an oil drip feed, but that does not make sense given how it is made. My other thought was a case for small hand sewing needles that you shake out one at a time. But again, no logical since nothing would stop more from coming out if not kept on its side.

Anyone know what this might be? Only markings are Pat. Ap'd which you can see in one of the pics.

Thanks,

Measures?

Just from looking at the pictures - maybe a shaving brush holder - kind of...

If it is of a smaller size maybe a needle reservoir?

Its no from your 29k Thats for sure!. Ill bet they had needles in there or something like Folker said??

Okay, thanks. It's just under an inch in diameter. Could be a container for a small spool of thread and you pull it out thru the hole in the bottom. That thought just occurred to me as one of my many dormant synapses decided to fire.

That was my first thought too.

Yup, I think it was some type of thread spool holder and the thread came out the bottom hole.
