Obviously a Stevenson Staple Sucker, a staple remover designed and crafted before the invention of the staple. The inventor had to be very imaginative since nobody knew what a staple was going to be shaped like, or be used for. Since it was ~42 more years before staples were invented, it explains why this device was such a commercial failure and therefore somewhat rare. A few have found their way, after being heavily modified, into the collections of gullible golf gear gatherers. Golf ball marker, really.

BTW I don’t think identifying the Stevenson Staple Sucker is “easy” for the average “staple ignorant” population. Also, Stevenson later went on to change the name of his company to ACME and was very successful, especially due to an excellent product delivery system.

Used to applying a wax seal on a rolled up piece of paper.
Like one seals used on letters in the old days to identify the sender, and verify that the letter has not been opened.

It is a monogram maker for golf balls.

Of course, I could be mixing it up with the golf ball divet maker from way back when.

Going with the popular theory and saying it’s used to monogram golf balls.

My other guess is that it’s either used to put a wax seal on wine bottles, or put a cap on a bottle of beer / alcohol

On my eeePC it’s an extremely tiny wine press (one grape at a time, we’ll get there eventually) the black thing o the side to to scrape the smushed grape off…

On my Mac laptop, its probably some sort of ball marker, but too small to be a golf ball marker.. (use your imagination, fidelity for the win)
