    Does anyone know what these are for? They are about 6 1/2" long with no markings that I can find...the wheel does roll...Any help/ideas would be appreciated!

      I agree....I still think I have one in my Sewing things. Gee, not collectible with a wooden handle. I would say from around the 60's / 70's era as that when I would have gotten mine...

      Here is a Vid as to how they were used ( mind you, these are Newer plastic ones in the Vid )

      The technical name is "Pounce Wheels."

      Thank you all for your help-yes, I think they are pounce wheels. They are like the plastic tracing wheels I used years ago in sewing class :) Thanks for all of your comments and great assistance!
