I'd LOVE to find one of those old 'swivel bases' like she used on the floor...I never see those...anywhere?
I don't know if this one qualifies, it is a bit short at 2 3/4" tall. It is called "Kno Knot" because you don't need to know any knots, haha, the rope is attached to the swivel with a set screw. The little ball with the set screw rotates freely if a bit crudely, but it doesn't matter too much because the rope itself can twist a bit until the ball catches up. The bag it came with doesn't have a bladder, I've never tried punching this swivel but really should. This swivel is well made, heavy walled cast iron components, galvanized finish, the screw threads for the swivel barrel and base are a fine pitch and feel precise.
I bought it to see how it was made, I too had wondered about this style after seeing them in really old photos. I haven't hit on it yet, but a well known participant here at this forum may be the first one to bag with it. Will keep you posted.
