What is this Vintage item

[trustgodforlife]

I recently purchased this at an estate sale and I am stumped what it is.  It is some type of faceplate or cover but to what?  Any ideas?

If you're thinking of a knitting machine carriage, it's possible.  I'm dubious, mind, you, but it's possible and I don't have anything better to offer.

Yeah! Whoopie, I won, I won, I er...wait a minute, I've been plagiarised and someone else won.

No LEDs with this item, it's circa 1960.

We have collectively established that it is from the future, sorry.

It has little brushes on those legs to keep a guiding track clean.

Well if that's the case, I want to seem my new president...NOW!

Sorry.  Didn't see you'd already posted the "carriage" thing.  But, then, you're used to my showing up late for the party.

Oops, spelling error. I know I'm being graded here.

Meant to say..."Well if that's the case, I want to see my new president...NOW!"

When I first read that I was like, what is he talking about spelling error? (Even though it was in bright red.) I went back and read the original three times before I saw that it was "seem" not "see". I guess my reading error compensated for your spelling error.

The correct answer is 6. Almost nobody gets it right first time.

I was half right, and that's enough to graduate from most colleges.
