Update 11/17/07 - the answer is:This would have been found in a store, where it was used to hold and display carriage driver's whips. A knot was tied in the small end, which was then inserted into one of the slots.
Congratulations to Bill R. #8 who go it right!
I think it's decorative. In the lower right it looks like it could be opened to go around something and then closed with the small chains supporting it.
So I'm going with an Elizabethan Collar for a Pit Bull.
No. don't need the little chains for that.
What the HELL is that?
Seriously though i'm going to say a holder for candle wicks.
lol, no.. it looks like it could be used to suspend a wreath for some b/s like advent or something. or thats just what it reminds me of since i unfortunately went to catholic school for a few years.
