Any clues what this might be?

Hi all,

A friend’s grandfather passed away recently and amongst the things found tucked away in a loft was this collection. Any ideas what the tool on the left is? My googling skills are drawing a blank.

Melba toast rack?

I think it is a type of key, possibly roman.

It's an early Assyrian Leatherman.

Can also be used as a chastity belt release tool.

Seriously, I think it may be a tool used in carpet weaving.

Roman love beads

[trickywoo]

Money clip for notes maybe.

things you find down the sofa or in a vacuum bag ??

Tuning fork for a strange instrument?

[Brink]

Medieval toe nail stretcher for persuading the peasants to plead guilty.

Haha loving the strong consensus here! Maybe a camel brush?

[Hoofy]

Garden hoe head? Wondering what goes through the hole.

Whitby jet top right could be the fake stuff but looks good to me.

For polishing brass buttons.
Slide between costume and button and polish without spoiling fabric behind.
Large hole is for your finger to grip it in place.

It's too ornate to be a button stick, they were simple items made in their millions.
