The big piece appears to be a vice for the pins/needles below. The name translates (I believe) as "Magic Eye" so I'd bet it's an "eyes out" for making sewings. That would be a needle with the point in the handle and the eye-end at the tip. Put a thread through the eye and knot it. Then you poke the eye-and-thread through where the sewing goes, pull the thread farther through and drop a bobbin through the loop (between the thread and the needle). Pull needle-and-thread out and keep pulling. The bobbin thread is pulled through and then remove the eyes out . You can drop the other bobbin through the loop in the first bobbin's thread and tension Robin P.
