Hand Cranked Thing-A-Majig What is it?

Put an apple in that thing you are going to make spagetti LOL ;P

(I was thinking it might be for winding somethig small , like a golf ball, but that isn't how they make golf balls. It seems they make them inside tubes, and they have pretty much always made them by some variation of winding them in tubes, so I now know how golf balls are made, but that doesn't help you one iota ;P)

looks like it might have been a "machine" for winding rope.......  I probably don't know what I'm talking about.....  but, maybe I do.
cheers and good luck

OK guys I don't want this thing to become a door stop like it was when I found it,  someone please come up with a proper use for it.
