A visitor came into the museum a few nights ago to ask us if we could identify something in her collection.

Does anyone know what this is?  It's a hollow wooden tube with a dark green label.  From the label we could make out only the name of the store, Collisters, which sold sewing goods.  Thus it's probably something used by tailors?
