It is neat though, ornate for it not to be something good

Wow Thanks for all the ideas . It just may be a sharpener ...If you look closely ( I wish I could get a scan of it ) there is some type of Asian writing on it .

Didn't they use to have a sharpener for crayons? This doesn't look like it would have a place to hold the sharp blade for pencils but for crayons or something soft, this would work.
