I also think it is a poker chip holder.

If you google "vintage plastic poker chip holder" some come up that are nearly identical.

My brother had a set when we were mid teens. The chips were a bit smaller than a quarter. His was more like some of the other circular styles.

I think you are right. It was originally a chip holder but now the ones I see are turned into thread holders. I see them all the time in antique shops with high prices with the thread spools in them. I have my grandmother's who used it for thread. I wish I had the chips to go with it. They seem popular to vintage poker collectors. I will just keep it with her old thread in it.

Well, at least it wasn't even all that great when it was new.
I'd charge more. After all, it's distressed.
