    Hi,

    This was given to me by my grandmother, I am not sure what it is but I am thinking it is a looming tool?

    Can someone tell me about it please, thank you.

      Yep, you're right. It's a looming toll; a bobbin shuttle.

      Shuttles (buses, etc) are called so when they go the same route back and forth, like a looming shuttle.

      Thanks, are these old or something that is still being used?

      Is your grandmother Scandinavian? I recognized it from flea markets here in Sweden. It's a very common weaving shuttle here.

      I guessed right! That makes sense. Not a weaver myself but I believe they're still being used.
