That tool looks to me like the tool they used back in the 1800's, early 1900's to button up their shoes. My mother had her great grandmothers baby shoes (kinda like boots really) and they had lots of little buttons. My mother showed us how to use it. They would put the tool in the buttonhole, then with the hook they would grab the button and pull it through buttonhole.
