Hi Brian I have one of these 'things' in my collection which has been adapted into a lace bobbin by having a wood head and neck inserted at one end and the last pair of holes at the other end hold the wire for the spangle. I've always thought mine was the remains from a needle case - now I'm not so sure!
So my friend your 'ba humbug' at New Year as well ;))). A happy and healthy one to you both. Diana in a very wet and wind blown Northamptonshire.
