Anyone know what this is ?

[my5cents]

This item is about 6" long and at the maximum 3" wide.

I sorta thought it was some sort of shoe thing but, I'm doubting that.

Does the part in the handle move or rotate? Is that a piece of string? How is it connected?

A trial rollerskate?

Only the wheel moves. The sring appears part of the function vs, a product of the contraption.

The handle does not move or rotate.

It's a shoe stretcher.

It's a shoe stretcher.

That's the first thought I had, but it doesn't expand. It does have a "7" on it which could be a shoe size. It has "145.00" on the top (?)

This is the closest I could find re shoe stretcher:

There are lots that look close. Maybe from an unlisted country of origin? Referring to the numbers, that is.

Sort of looks like something you would catch a ball in.

Close but no cigar.

I even tried antique fishing net repair tools, nope. Thanks for your interest

Bingo !

Thank you very much.

So you know, the item was donated to a hospital thrift store, where my wife volunteers. They had no idea what it was.

That's a pretty cool tool
