I have one of these, also.? Mine is white plastic; the shape varies slightly.?
The outer piece is shaped like a racketball/tennis racket (without handle) and
the inner piece is more triangular (heart?), split at the top with daggard
tips. The out rim is?3 1/2", inner: 2 1/2".? It is the only unidentified tool
in my Victorian sewing basket. I have shared the basket with contents, with
senior women at nursing or retirement?homes and 'it'?has never been named, yet.?

Subject: Re: [h-cost] Unidenitified objectStill _could_ be a purse frame. I
could make a purse out of it by
crocheting over the frame, or sewing fabric (by hand) over the frame
to make a totally covered purse.
Of course, one would then need to add a loop and button closure.
