Galileo Feynman's Comments

This is, also, a Deoreoator, which is used for separating Oreos and evacuating their icing. Widely used in the Midwest, particularly during the long winter months, Deoreoators were particularly fadish as an accessory of the Fig Newton diet popular in the 1970's until it was discovered that figs were already available sans Newton and did not require de-Newtoning. The Deoreoator shown here is an old one, perhaps Abraham Lincoln's, who was widely known to prefer only the bottom cookie, giving his remainders to Mary Todd, resulting in her dramatic plumping.

Alas, you are all wrong. It is a drapery or "window treatment" finial or bracket removed from the rod. Mass produced for a post-war America in antique bronze finish, it is meant to appeal to an Anglophilic design sensibility in a living room, great room, or den in the typical ranch bungalow, though oddly it was actually stylistically borrowed from a Sumerian frieze depicting the death of Gilgamesh. it is best paired with light taupe or cream colored shag carpeting.
