Hmm, a back scratcher? I know that can’t be what it is, but nothing else is springing to mind!

hi Will,
Is this made by you, or store bought?
How about a fireplace tool, such as a fireplace flue opener?

Pretty sure it’s a button hook. Used on shoes in the 1800s (and maybe earlier).

Sorry – I should have given a size reference. It is about 5 inches in length. But I looked up Beth’s idea of a button hook on Google Images and she must be exactly correct. I have no idea how old the one we have is, but they are still made and sold today. Thanks Beth!

I have no idea but it looks like some kind of tool to use while making crafts. Pulling yard or robe ?

Button hook or some kind of corset tightener were gonna be my guesses. WTG Beth!
