Belgian friction winder combined with a swift. The whole assembly can be attached horizontally to the edge of a table by driving the wedge between the table and pegs at the back of the wheel arm.

I'm unsure of the date that the seller sites below.

From the seller:
The things are ca. 1820 from Flamen / Belgium. Its from the family of my wife. She is from Belgium.
As my wife rembers , the stuff was coming for a long time from a monastry in Belgian where they teached the children.
