<div>Hello,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I was forwarded the attached image by a friend who had seen this object in
Lincoln Museum where I believe it was labelled as a “Linen smoother”. They asked
if I had ever come across anything similar as they thought linen smoothers are
normally glass slickers. Having never seen anything like it I thought I would
pop it up here to ask if any of you have come across an item like this. It is
dated as “Anglo-Saxon” and is approximately "5” long (about 125mm)</div>
