And as I was writing that I remembered a pair of ivory "awls" connected by a green cord that Jeanie Asplundh bought because they looked like they might be sewing related. It turned out, after much research, that they were used in lawn bowling, to determine which ball was closest to the ... oh darn, the little target one that I forget the name of. Anyway, these bobbin things would work great for that, with string run through the hole in the tips. I acquired a pair of these - found in a sewing box. It took me months to discover what they were for!
