Thread: Can you identify this tool?

Close to hitting the "transfer to drivel"button...

Good idea for a thread, please mind the dribble though.

I just knew it was going to be a let down. Rug tufter indeed!

Midge promises the next one will be a woodwork related item, don't you Midge?

As a little tacker my brother and I completed a rug my mother had started years before, no doubt we had a fair bit of tuition. But that little rug tufting tool was just a little tube of brass, with what looked like a far smaller needle. You sure it wasn't for rope rather than wool midge?

Didn't Warnie sell 'em? "Advanced Hair? Yeah, yeah!"

'Was' is{was} the word... intentional... planning to.... nearly... almost... any second now.... (like a dusty)... some time, LAST century.

(Just making up for that red you gave me by mistake Midge. )

In an effort to get back on topic here, I'm going to pose the same question which commenced this thread.

Can anyone identify this tool......
