Is it one of those old fashioned button hooks, or a zip puller-upper.
ETA Sherlock got there first.

Thanks very much for replies
There does not appear to be any buttonhooks listed on ebid, so if I list it, it'll be a unique item on ebid.
Not looked at categories yet, would I list it under clothes and accessories?
ETA just did an ebid search using button hook (first result of 0 for buttonhook) got 9 results so not unique.

Could also be used for pulling tent pegs out of the ground.
If you had two you could also pull your trousers up. If you have belt hooks of course.
when we had a coal fire we had a similar looking device "a cleek" which was used to pull the damper out to heat up the water
