Looks a lot like a clothes pin.

Looks almost like an original hemostat, but also a needle-nosed pliers or tweezers -- see the spring thing within the handle on the right side?

I think it is a glove stretcher - used in Victorian times

No idea but it looks really cool.

This is my idea, a very old hemostat, must be an antique. Where did it come from? If it was with other strange objects, they might give you a clue. And us, it is interesting.

Hmmm, i was thinking of it being used to hold curls in one's hair long ago. otherwise, i don't know.

Maybe it was an old binding clip!

Don't forget to let us know what it is when you finally find out.

with all the ideas that have been sent, google antique - whatever (curler, hemostat, etc) and see if one comes up
