What are these hoops?






A fellow in Central NY bought a storage container full of these hoops. From Queensboro plant a number of years ago. He'd like to know what they are. There is this collar that slips up and it appears that there are these pins that hold the collar in place? The lid and bottom are removable and I am not sure if they push the collar down while pressing or if the followers are missing. Really neet hoop.

Any ideas?

These may be Gem's according to Margaret Morris. Not easy to work with but make a decent truckle. If anyone wants to buy them, let me know and I will forward their name to the fellow that has them.
