What Is It?

I recently purchased this...
 I got it at an auction when I bid on a box of wooden items. The box contained an antique loom shuttle (which is what I really wanted) and an old rolling pin. This was in the box and I have no idea what it is, and neither did anyone else at the auction.
It comes apart...
 I can't wait for someone to tell me what it is! 
Please, try not to make me feel too dumb!!!

  1. My unprofessional guess would be that it was used for stretching canvas or maybe the base for either a rattan or wicker chair seat. Just guessing! I hope someone can answer your question for you.

  2. I'm just guessing to and I'm glad to know I'm not the only person who has purchased an item at auction without knowing what the item is but I am betting it has to do with stretching things same as Cher but I think it might be millinery--just a guess
