Is it something to keep the reins straightened when driving a carriage, or maybe even when riding a horse with a bridle that has 4 reins ?

A sewing machine accessory?

Not for a sewing machine, no, but it does look a little like a - what are they called? - bobbin?

 

[That Guy]

For twisting fibers to make heavy ropes.

 

[Gael]

I don't know but it would make a funky ring. I'd wear it!

Not for mincing meat, sorry ...

DING! DING! DING!

We have a winna'!!!

Gael has correctly identified this Victorian object as a ring - a KEY RING, created by bending a 100+ year-old key into a ring, suitable for the fashionistas in your life!

Get it? Key? Ring? Victorian Key Ring?!?

Congratulations Gael and thank you all for your wonderful answers!

 

[Ina]

Well I'll be darned, Phil, now that you and Gail point it out, I can see it. :rofl:

 

[Falcon]

Good on you Gael. But not for your finger. 1 1/4 " in diameter, unless you have very fat fingers.

OK to put your keys on though.
