      This is a shuttle from a loom that has modified for a second life as a candle holder or a thermometer or a rain gauge. There were thousands of these until looms changed over to modern shutteless weaving. The early shuttles were typically made of dogwood, but later ones were fiberglass/resin.

      It is a weaving shuttle used in industrial textile manufacturing. They were repurposed after the company went out of business into wall mounted vases, hence why the glass tube
