    Hello, would any of you happen to know what this is? If so can you age it or know of its value?

    Looks like it was originally a wood spool for thread/wire that someone converted into a toy.

    A repurposed spool from a cotton or wool mill. I've seen a fair few souvenirs like this: egg timers, games and all sorts.
