So when the two smaller parts are pulled together, the middle closes resulting in cutting or chopping something? We have to guess what object it is being used on?

Tica..
Whatever happened to a knife ???
I don't think it is to cut something as much as it is to measure something..
Most likely I am wrong, of course.........
If you pull the 2 rings, perhaps a blade comes out and cuts something in a circular motion..
MAYBE !!!! However that doesn't sound logical .....

That is how it functions, yes, and yes, you have to name the object it is used upon, since it is designed specifically for that object and that object alone.
... it's just a matter of time now ... looking forward to seeing single-word posts of "Steak" and "Grapefruit"

No, and I'm sorry but that just brought to mind the classic Honeymooners "Chef of the Future" sketch - "Can it core a apple?" ...

Not for sausages or 'nanas, sorry.
DING! DING! DING! WE HAVE A WINNER!!!
It is indeed a Soft Boiled Egg Cutter!
This vintage cutter is identical to the ones available today. The soft-boiled egg sits in an egg cup (you have lots of THOSE sitting around, right?) and the top is cut off to eat the egg with a spoon, right from the shell.
Congrats Anne and Honorable Back-Up Mention for Jillaroo!

Congratulations Anne (and Jillaroo)!
Wow; we got one, Jillaroo!!!
Seabreeze, I bet he means soft-boiled, cuz that way you just slice off the top, and spoon out the rest. A regular egg-slicer would make mush out of a soft-boiled egg. Just thought of that now, tho..................
Anne is right - I meant soft-boiled egg. Hard-boiled you could just crack the whole thing apart like an Easter egg, but with soft-boiled (at least as I understand it) the yolk is still liquid.
