<p class="MsoNormal">A visitor came into the museum a few nights ago to ask us if we could identify something in her collection.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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?
