The correct observation is that this gizmo is for turning the fingers of a glove so that the seams are inside. I have one of those!

It looks an awful like one of those old curling irons they used on lady's hair "way back when". They put them on the stove or near a fire to heat and then curled their hair.

Looks like an old fashioned hair curler to me.

It's a fimberg oscillating framazam

I think its an old time curling iron for hair

I agree with the glove stretcher.

I think Lacelady is right, they are glove stretchers.
