I did buy this for 10p at a boot sale years ago, largely because I liked the look of the handle and thought it might be useful for something else - but, it has turned out to be in regular use for all sorts of things.
Just two pieces of shaped and polished steel, probably nails, I suspect, they are very handy for hoicking things out of holes, removing o-rings, clearing the washing machine filter and a host of other tasks.
