For sale is a very unusual sock darner in good condition. You can see from the picture that one side has some slight adhesion on the aluminum which is actually rather heavy. My estimate of the date of manufacture comes from the fact that it's a sock darner, it's bakelite, and it has a rather modernist design reminiscent of art deco in the world of textiling. One side is completely shiny and there are no dents. The bakelite is perfect, as can be expected, with the writing "Pat Pending Pakkold" on it. Le Baroque Company out of Chicago manufactured this Pakkold darner, which like some others functions a bit like a baby rattle. Some thought appears to have gone into the design of the darner section as one side is relatively flat compared to the other, kind of like the flat of your foot.
