chalk marker for what?

This looks like it was used to mark a srtaight line with chalk, but for what? don't think it was a pin-striper, because that would have been done by hand...anyone know?

Maybe for use in marking large areas/pieces of cloth? Then again it could have been used for pinstriping see link for another tool used for that Auction is closed but if you scroll down you can see a wheeled tool for pinstriping.

Thank you both! was thinking pin striper, but most artist do such a good job free handed we thought it might have another use. the little loop lines up with the wheel perfectly, so we wondered if it fit over a string to guide the wheel. it was found in a cellar of a homestead in the middle of a prairie..?
thanks!!!!
