This was found in my grandmother's things after she passed. She kept
it with her sewing stuff although that doesn't necessarily mean it's
sewing-related. Any idea what it is?

The mystery has been solved if you want to pass it along. It's a
half-hoop for embroidering handkerchief edges.

Personally, I have my doubts about that, and prefer the opinion that it
is a clasp for a fabric-covered bag. (Indeed, I think I've seen one
made into a bag to hold knitting.) But then perhaps the best tools are
the ones that have as many ways to be useful as possible.
Thank you again, on behalf of both Charlene and myself,
Linda Walton,
(happy to be in a warm house in dark, cold High Wycombe,
Buckinghamshire, U.K.).
