So it is time for the big reveal. There have been some great guesses and some were pretty close. Others have given me ideas to invent new fly tying tools and I have already patented your ideas so see you in court. Just kidding by the way. Here were some guesses that were made in the comments section:
"Hackle comb or hook sorter."
"Robot mustache dress up kit...for flying tying."
"My guess is hackle fluffer/separator or something that does something with hackle. What I am saying is, this thing(s) performs a task related to hackle."
The hackle separator was the closest guess, but instead of separating hackle, it was a wing separator. Apparently using wing sections was a big deal back in the day and eyeballing the width of a wing section was just too difficult back then. In all seriousness though, I can see this tool being extremely useful for tying a muddler minnow...if I could tie a muddler worth a darn that is!
