I think It is a needle punch for making rugs with rug yarn and when I did them I used burlap for the backing here is a pic of some but a little different in looks

looks like a shuttle for jaquard weaving, but don't quote me
saw similar one in Italy many years ago at a bedspread factory

I don't know what it is, but it looks as if it might be used to draw yarn ends through knitting or crochet to hide them.

At least it looks like a tool I'd like for that purpose!!
