I'd guess on the side of a device to hold your beginning threads, etc. for making lace and/or macrame (remember macrame?). It looks like the thingies on the ends are round which would facilitate taking off the loops when the length is done and finishing off the beginning edge.

I vote for lace/macrame/braid device hung from whatever is available at the length you need to eliminate the slack.

Seems to me that it is a counter. But can't, for the life of me, figure out how to get those little things off of the ring.

That's it exactly. I never lived in an apartment in Manhattan but I knew immediately that is what I would use it for.
