Ribbon and label looms once wove several narrow fabrics side by side, each with its own small shuttle riding in a geared block like this one. This pair comes from that textile-mill world: a carved wooden shuttle with a wooden bobbin wound with blue thread and a steel wire tension spring, riding in a T-shaped track on a wooden block with gear segments set in the side slots. Collectors of mill artifacts and weaving tools, and fans of industrial farmhouse decor, will enjoy it on a shelf, mantel or workbench.
