>The Item looks like  a knitting board I was shown once upon a time. You
would make loops on the nail (stick up part) and then use it like you do a
knitting needle.  You take your thread to the first stitch and then on to
the next one ,pulling the yarn over the loop and then putting the loop over
that.  It works for straight knitting.
I think this was around 1940-1945.  I was very young
