    Not a clue. Newspaper or rolling pin maybe? The matches sound like a good one.

    Could it be a boot scraper? My DH will be home in a few minutes and I'll ask him, but I think that's what it is.

    Edit: I missed some of the posts and didn't see that Loretta already suggested boot scraper. I still think that's what it is, even though it's small. Perhaps it's a child's boot scraper? Here comes DH, I'll ask him.

    Edit2: DH didn't know. That surprised me, he usually knows about odd things like this. Guess he's not perfect. :( I'm still opting for boot scraper.

    My guess would be a business card holder.

    That's what I thought too, coz it often is the dog's job to fetch the paper.

    Of course! My doberman Emily would agree to that, then ask why we don't have one for her!

    To tell you the truth, my first thought was for the long fireplace matches...
