Looks like a standalone thing, has no connections. Tool or toy.

There’s a section that’s very clearly not the handle, and a section that in stark contrast, is a handle.

Is made of wood, entirely, and looks quite delicate. For gentler tasks/use.

It’s long. So it must be to extend reach from the handle part.

Is entirely curvy without sharp edges, even when looking kind of worn. Designed not to cut or damage.

Handle is simple and round, rather than having ridges or second axis torque. It is not for twisting.

Non-handle end is curved and two-ended, with curves that look like for picking and pulling.

Tips of pulling end are a specific size and surface. Bigger would be stronger but less precise, smaller would be more precise but may risk damage and be weaker. Can imply strength and weight of thing this tool comes into contact with.

Tool-ends are flat, rather than round/dowels. So the thickness of the tool end is precise, with the amount of strength needed from the added width.

It also looks in fairly good condition for how old it looks, but simultaneously has even use wear through the finish. Used, not new, indoor tool.

My best guess is it’s a tool meant for grabbing and pulling fabric or thread, with the secondary ability to push without getting caught, maybe on a large table.

Going by the era design and simplicity, it’s either from a time or a place with a level of technology that is still relatively simple, a la 1900 USA textiles industry, rather than hyper modern. Or a person, now, who made it themselves and doesn’t need anything fancy, or who likes this style (it does have the dark smooth finish).

My guess: garment maker’s tool, possibly men’s suits/tailor.

Lacquered light wood, with intricate details. Too delicate to be a gardening tool. Too scuffed and worn to be ornamental. Also it appears upside down, notice the wear at the top.

That’s all I can see. The rest is speculation from me. Possibly we’re seeing the leg of something, like an armchair or rocking chair? Maybe a part of a large tool, like something to do with weaving or another workbench?

It looks like an old “T-Square”. It was used for “drafting”. /s

It’s a clothes hanger. There’s a central stick with holes where you put your part in.

My grandma had something similar. She used it as a dildo.

It’s the wooden pick axe in Minecraft

I think it’s upside down, and probably should have a hook for hanging that’s located in the middle on the curved section, which is shown in contact with the ground.

But it could also be simply an extention pole for reaching hung garmets that are stored or displayed overhead… Nowadays such extensions are usually just poles with hooks.

My guess is that it is more likely a part of something else, like a piece of furniture, than a standalone tool. As others have pointed out, it were a tool, it would likely show signs of wear on curve or at the tips. Also, the bar tapers as it approaches the rounded part. If the bar were intended to be a handle, then the taper towards the side of impact would be counter-productive, likely reducing the stability and durability of the tool during use.

possibly a croupier stick? hard to say, doesn’t look like a typical one but there’s a lot of variance in how they’re made

It’s a pik for soft gold mining.

Part of a disassembled rocking chair or cradle?

Looks like it’s for ru ru.

we don’t talk about grandma’s toys.

A rocking-crutch

You slide the pole up your ass and run around pretending to be a wind-up doll. Then ask random strangers to turn it.
