{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Gizmo solved

I would guess some kind of bobbin?

Good guess, Alan. 

It appears to be an early version of a bobbin with adjustable thread tension provided by the spring pushing against the spool of thread – tension adjusted by the nose nut. The housing has warped so a spool of thread no longer turns freely and it is a PITA to get the thread around the bend.
