I wouldn't have thrown it out, both are useful for different things. I
have 4, they take very little room.
A standard rolling pin is better for pasta (noodles).
The one I use most often is large and heavy, with ball bearings.
One day you will be sorry you threw your old rolling pin away, the
older ones were made of very nice hard maple, a large diameter hard
maple dowel can be used for many things, can make a good pusher for a
meat grinder. Can make a couple of excellent wooden mallets. Today
all those nice wooden tools are made of cheap plastic.
