Could it be for wig making - I remember some years ago I think it was Mr
Hornsby had hooks for sale.
I still have one which is curved - though of course this has an eye not a
hook - ho hum!

I hope you'll all forgive me if I argue with myself here! I just looked at
the item again, and the seller calles it a "Oeil Magique". DUH!! That
tells me that in all probability, there *IS* an eye there, and this is what
we call a "Lazy Susan".

Possibly a seriously mishandled pricker! Where all the pricking needles
have
got badly bent! Grin!
More sensibly - I think Clay is right
< I agree, it's for sewings. With an eye, it's a Lazy Susan, without an
eye, it's a needlepin. I'm betting there are no eyes on these. The
purists
try to teach us to do the sewings with a needlepin, not with the more
modern
Lazy Susan.>
