This device was used by English policemen to affix their helmets before duty. The wearing of chinstraps was forbidden by order of the king in 1872 as he believed them to be a papal plot to 'silence the English state of law.' So the 'Bobbies' leather helmets were fitted a size too small and were afastened to the lawmans head using this tool. It had a partner device called 'popper' to remove the helmet, though details of its construction are undocumented. It is rumored that it used a greased sausauge fixed to a foot pedal mounted on a chair with a hole in its seat. This is a a squeeg.
