I found this little folding hookish deal in the tool box the other day.

It's about an inch and a quarter long. Opens all the way to straight and folds right  up.

Looks like a shoe string tightener to me.

Maybe for skates?

:text-yeahthat: Both get my vote based on a quick image search on the web...Only this one's a fancy folding model...

 

Now, if it was RED, I would have it pegged as a WH combination back scratcher and belt grab tool...NOS Pt Number: :wh: WH BKSCRCHRBLT 123.456 (F).

The (F) stands for the fancy Folding model...

You may have found some money , all you need is a collector.  It could be used for old button type shoes. Check flea bay , that is where my wife check when she drags crap home from Goodwill etc.

If the above ends up not the case, then it looks like a Ferriers hoof pick to me.

all of those seem reasonable ...  but it's just a wittle bitty thing...

maybe for tiny buttons.

@953 nut, I could use it for carb springs? :)

My honey found it in a pic as a part of an old swiss armyish looking multitool pic as well.

That was why I thought maybe something outdoorsy?

I think I have it! It is a bugger picker for those who can't stand the thought of using their finger.               :ychain:

I'm thinking, being metal, you really would not use it to grab wires in a splice...but you could use it in weaving, like a rug.  Just thinking out loud.  :)  it is a very neat piece.

It is used to remove ear wax and those little hairs in your ear canal or could be used to remove toe jam from your nails.  Who started this dang thread ? There will be guesses until the Big Show , where is Howard when we need him ?
