This was found in an historic and intact residential/household deposit
dating to about 1940, although there are earlier items thrown in the mix
(heirlooms?). I thought at first it was the wick mechanism for a lamp, but
there is a wood (handle?) inside the metal part. The metal is very
lightweight, chrome, I think. Pics can be viewed here:

Any help is appreciated!

Regards,
Linda
