When I checked it, it is listed as a Chocolate mulling tool -which is how I recognize it also. It would be spun (fast) between the palms of one's hands to mix and froth a cup of hot chocolate. I believe they are used in Mexico and other S. American countries.

I've just come across another of those odd things on eBay that makes me say, "Wha...?". Item # 250185020238. The seller says it's a lace bobbin, but nope... definitely not. For one thing, it's 10" long! This is an old thingy, whatever it is. Maybe not antique. but at least vintage. I have a similar "thingy" which was my mother's, and for some reason I chose to keep it rather than toss it after she died. One of her friends had brought it to her from a trip abroad, and I don't know if we ever knew what it is. The thing that sticks in my mind is that it is some sort of ceremonial thing. But if any of you knows what this is, I'd really like to hear from you!
