    I think it is thread holder used in hand making lace. It would be used on a special cushion and quite a number of them would be used at one time. Each little bobble would have a thread and be used to move the threads over and under one another to form the pattern and make the knots.

    My guess is a scarf holder. Those two balls must be spring loaded. It couldn't hold much weight tho.

    My guess is it was made for one purpose - maybe belt hanger etc but some imaginative sewer or creator has found another use for it so let the imagination go wild.
