    Metal box on wooden base. Size ~20x11x7cm.
    Five metal loops on the ouside. It looks like it was used to unwind something ... thread, wire? I wouldn't even know in what category to put it.

    Never seen this before and would appreciate if someone out there could enlighten me.

    Kia Ora,
    Rainer
