An atlatl is a spear thrower, it was frequently made from a dear horn or similar horn. It lengthened the throwing distance of the arm by extending its length, it is the same principal behind the stick in lacrosse with a net at its end.
I should have known too, I have two racks hanging in the back room that are from mule deer. I thought it was something made of deer horn, not a deer horn. Here is a new one, I am posting a picture of the whole item, it is old. It belonged to a friends mother who passed away a few months ago at the ripe old age of 93. One day after her 93rd birthday. Guess what this is.
Zonabee got it, it is a hemmer. One stands next to it and as you turn around, you squeeze the bulb and a line of chalk is expelled from a nozzle on the jar and you have a hem line. It is a manufactured item and not hand made. My friends mother, Elenore, made her own clothing, she stood less than 4 feet tall and clothes for 5 and 6 year olds did not suit her. She made all of her own dress's, skirts and tops and they all had labels that said made by Elenore. I don't think Elenore ever weighed more than 85 pounds in her life.
