I can't tell how big it is but it looks a small wire stretcher. Tony

It is a cigar box opening and closing tool, very cool!!

 

[hbeaton]

Gunsil's got it. As someone who enjoys cigars and cigar history, you have a round head cigar box opener.

Here's a 1925 advertisement of several types including the round head.
