Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Not leather Something to do with metal that we all carry about with us either in pockets or in purses.
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Is it for cutting keys? Well done Wendy. Did you spot my hidden clue in my first reply?

Dash it - I thought that but since I'm always wrong didn't go for it. Aunty Josie had a hardware shop for a while, and I've watched her using one similar.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS

I did a search on the image, and the only vaguely similar object was for key cutting but your final clue gave me the confidence to answer!

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
I've never seen one of these. Must get out more.
