   It is a winder for a string or a line ,it has the opening clasp so that it can be placed over a continous line.

    Looks like something that would be used to remove Guinea Worms (skin parasite.) The head of the worm would be hooked on the spindle and the knob would be given a couple of cranks every day to slowly remove the parasite over time.

    a bewilderer - a medieval device built to bewilder common folk many years after its creation.

    I think its a microkeratome - a device used to remove a flap of tissue, like in LASIK surgery.

    A jar opener. Tighten it over a lid and use the knob to turn the lid open.

    Its a Scovuncial Clasp, usually just called a 'clasper.' Traditional Irish clog dancers frequently suffer from embarassment when their strenuous dances cause the breast bands of their authentic 13th century styled under garments to loosen and drap from their blouse fronts in an unseemly fashion. This small clasp helps them maintain their dignity, even while performing the "hunting eels in a septic bog' routine.

    DUHHH!!! they're baby handcuffs. You only need half because the hands are so small... And the little spikes? Because big spikes are just wrong.
