Antique tool expert(s) wanted

[pourcyne]

Can anyone tell me what this might be? Belongs to a friend of mine who lives in Belgium.

(I know there will be funny answers, but a correct one or reasonable guesses would be greatly appreciated)

Puzzle seems likely, especially because of the French word "casse-tête" (literally, "break-head"). And, if you can't solve it, you can always whack your little sister with it...

The younger ladies probably think my tool is an antique.

If it's only the younger ones, not universal, you might still be OK
