Could be linguine or angel hair pasta
"Waiter, there's hair in my pasta!" I love angel hair pasta, especially the whole wheat kind, which isn't always available.

Maybe the folks you bought it from also bought it a garage sale 30 years before that and were getting rid of it because they never found out what it was😳

Home made is the best pasta, wide noodles my grandma used to make, nothing like it.

Sounds like my grandma's garden, it was huge along with about a half an acre chicken yard. Back then fresh chicken was fresh chicken. Kids these days wouldn't eat chicken if they had to go out and do their own.

Just for the hell of it, why don't you bolt it to a cutting board and get some store dough and thin it out and put it through the rollers. If it is a pasta maker, then you will know what kind it makes....Simple? and then you can show us the result.
Maybe it is a kid's toy pasta maker.

On the farm we had a roosting house, a nest box room on the side and a building about16x20 with a concrete floor and a concrete & brick furnace in the middle. In the spring the rural delivery mailman would deliver 1-3 boxes of 100 baby chicks from the hatchery and they lived in there until they were big enough to let out to join the farm flock. When I went out from town for the weekend (just hopped on the bus with my youngest Aunt instead of walking home on Friday) one of my choirs was to make sure the fire in the furnace didn't go out and keep the feeders and water bowls full. Once the hatchery got the dates mixed up and sent the chicks a week early and that building was stone cold. I rode the bus out and while the furnace got the concrete floor and building warm (it took two days for the heat to spread to the whole floor) I, my little brother and our Aunt took turns keeping the fire going and did our homework on the dining room table with 200 chicks fenced into the corner behind the wood stove that warmed the dining room with some wide boards, water dishes and feeders which we kept filled. Those boards were 12" and the chicks would pile on each other until the could get over the top. Then we had to catch them and put them back. Do you have any idea how many places a baby chick can hide in an 8 room house?

I read recently Italians never eat spag with meatballs, but do eat meatballs, just not with pasta. Is this wrong?
Yes. Never grated cheese on any spaghetti dish with seafood.
