I have been at the seller again. He told me he has this thing for quite some time; doesn't even remember where or who he got it from.
He wants some money for it. Not much, but i consider it expensive; anyway, an amount i am not willing to pay.
I handled it again and noticed a certain detail; something new to add to the reasoning of what this device would be: the area between the 'forks' is not of square section, but fairly angular. I don't think this only esthetical, but instead 'sharpened' like that to serve a purpose.

This thing really does look like a domestic tool of some kind. I still feel it is ti do with a craft of some kind, perhaps a pushing tool or parting tool? maybe a traditional womens craft like this ebay item and these things fetch good money.

I (surprisingly) didn't buy it, although its price is five times less than that one in ebay.
... And i still don't know what it is
