well, many think they have proved this item to be a glove stretcher. they are wrong, i am sure. it is actually a chip clip - for closing up those bags of chips so they don't get stale. and i am sticking to my answer. lol

These are glove stretchers. Used to put down into the fingers, especially leather gloves, and the opened to stretch so easier to put on. I inherited some from my ggrandmother.

Actually they are to stretch leather gloves after they are washed. Kid gloves can be hand washed but they wrinkle up and get stiff. The stretchers are to stretch out the leather back to softness and smoothness.
