Any idea what this is?!

Hope you can help. This was in my grandmother's house, passed to mum and now to me. My mother has no idea what it is!

Trying to find out and just can't figure it out. There's two of them, quite light and about 25CM x 15cm x 2CM. Would love to figure out what they are for purely sentimental reasons

Many thanks!

Looks like part of an old knitting machine or something like it. Possibly they are used in some kind of pulley system? This is just a guess.

Thanks for the ideas, still not a clue but the search will go on!

My partner who is a textile person thinks it may have something to do with weaving or wool.

...so perhaps, OP, you could try posting it in the arts and crafts forum and see if anyone there recognises it.
