small compass holder?
Using the age old scale of 'warm and cold' to indicate accuracy.
Your answer carrie deserves a 'cold'.
I think another clue is needed. Difficult to know how much to give away, but here is a go:
The users thumb goes through the hole.
Is it for sewing sails?
Actually what am I on about. sails? 1948? durr
Ah ha. Right first time danners.
It can be used for sewing sales or leather work.
But how would it be used for sewing?
That should have been sails, not sales!
I think I'll just finish this. The object is a 'sailors palm'. You put your thumb through the hole and it allows you to push a needle through canvas for repairing sails. They can also be used to stitch leather.
Without it, you would end up pushing the needle through your hand as well as the canvas!
