BUSER No.1707

This came folded up out of the ground at an old homesite, unfolded and cleaned it up a bit. Any ideas to what it is?

Looks old appliance-ish to me.

There was a Buser Silk Company in Johnstown and Allentown, PA established in 1911. Later ribbons in Paterson. NJ.

The "B" and the "E" from the ribbon era look the same as yours.

Thx Charlie! I think you found the mfg.

I agree. I think Charlie got it.
I think this held small threads of yarn, or something like that.
I vaguely (as in very, very vaguely) recall seeing these before - but I would never have got there without Charlie's assist!
