Hello from Hazard!
We have a new mystery to solve. Item No. 1298 comes from Jeannie Mercer, of Wooster, Ohio. She said this flat, wooden item, about 8 inches long, was found on her ancestor’s farm in Richville, Ohio. “It looks like something used in sewing, but I have no information on it.” Item. No. 1298 is just over 3 inches wide if you slide it so the widest pieces line up. It’s held together with metal. The two sides slide back and forth. The whole thing is kind of fragile, made of thin wood, ⅜-inch thick.
