Mystery object ... have a guess!

What do you think this is? And to which period do you think it belongs?

    Does it open? Its some kind of sewing notion, I'd bet.

    Yes, it opens in the middle - see the image of it in my hand.

    Do you keep thread/yarn in it, and pull it out from the hole at the top? I'm guessing Victorian...

    It looks like a sring ball? I have seen simular items with balls of string inside and pulled through the top. Is it regency period or victorian?
