This was in my grandmother's sewing chest. She was born and raised in Boston. Her father was a fisherman by trade. Her mother was a sail maker.

If it was used to repair sails the needle should be triangular shaped. Try researching sliding point needle or perhaps sail makers sliding point needle. This has adjustable thrust so obviously it can go through different thicknesses of material.
Very ideal! Love It! =)
Are there any patent numbers anywhere on it? If so, you can do a search at http://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/srchnum.htm and find out what you can that way. It's very cool and unusual! Keep us updated!
It is a tool used to make rugs. The needle at the end pokes the yarn or fabric through a backing and then moves on to a next stitch and so on.
