Looks like it would attach to a chain so I’m going with some kind of mini weapon to attach to a pocket watch chain.
Guessing game!
No cheating ;)

Is it a sound thingy, like a whistle?
THIN is the new BLACK
I've found out what it is, but would never have guessed.
Some kind of crude assassin weapon?
Looks like some sort of one way valve that widens if pulled the wrong way. No idea what for though. Other thing that sprang to mind was some kind of barb device for fishing
Looks like an early prototype diabetes finger prick device ?
Found out what it is - in a tangent kind of way I was on the right lines but still way wide of the mark
Got it! Nifty little thing for the Victorian gentleman about town.
Something for cigars?

i wont spoil the fun but have seen one of these before and interestingly enough it was attached to the item it was designed for, i'd imagine it was no match for the artful dodger though
Yeah, saw this on one of those facebook promoted posts. I did guess it right before reading the blurb.
My second guess was some sort of grappling hook.
Managed to guess what it was from the comments above. Failing that I would have ended up google image searching!
I know what it is but I've never understood how it was intended to work.
I’m looking forward to someone saying was this is, preferably before I go to bed !
Link, so as not to spoil it for others still guessing

‘Tis a Victorian solution to a severe case of constipation. Up it goes and out it comes.
A steampunk acorn?

I can't help thinking that, once this has deployed and prevented your watch being stolen, you're going to need to buy a new waistcoat (and consequently a whole suit). Unless it's a gold watch I'd say the gains are marginal.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Interesting contraption. guessed what it was after some of the comments.
