Please help to identify. Musical Instrument???

Does anyone know what this thing is?  I picked it up at a garage sale and they could only tell me that it always set on their Great-grandmother's table and the mallet makes noise sliding it along the interior ridges.  There is a name engraved at the top that looks like "McDudley & Sons", then a very long word (maybe 20 letters) underneath that I cannot read, then on the 3rd line it says Mas??.  It is all wood  (except the nose is metal) and about 20" x 2".  As always, your help is so appreciated.  PeggyIMG_20180819_163552.jpgThe inside, carved woodThe inside, carved woodIMG_20180816_213501.jpg

Just got an answer from an antique dealer.  Says it is a wooden shuttle for a power textile loom.  Wilkinsonville, Mass.   Thanks for looking.
