How funny that's exactly what I thought. Or maybe a device for making fake duck tracks to entice a duck into a trap. :)

Looks like a scalloping tool for watermelon/cantelope/or honeydew melons

It looks like it could be a spoon rest. You stick the handle through the hole & it props it up.

I have seen one before, and I think it has to do with bouquets of flowers. Just a guess The stems go in the hole, fingers fit on the other end.

My first thought was for a tassle maker or a pom pom maker. Guess the nail thing could work.
