    Welcome, Alison. I'm afraid your picture is too small to see details well and also needs to be rotated. Is there anything you can do about that? Others may also want additional pictures.

    Any background, images of the back and details will be helpful...

    I love it, but no clue if it's actually old?? If it is, it was stored very well.

    Welcome, @Alison L.

    You've got to be kidding! :eek: I hate it. A big part of why I moved here - to get away from MA coastal winter weather! :rolleyes:

    First of all, I'd say the "spinner" definitely isn't all there.....maybe needs to hang from something (a bracket???) above??????

    My first thought was for measuring also. You would roll it along to measure distances.

    Maybe a folk art version of an actual implement for spacing garden rows? Wouldn't want those bush beans growing on top of each other.

    The way it's labeled suggests more than one was made.

    Could it be something to plant seeds? Or seedlings? To space them correctly?

    I would measure the distance, along the arc, between points. Comparing the size to the chair behind, it looks pretty close to a foot? A little clumsy but it works. Rolling measuring devices are still in use today but they are more sophisticated.
