I'm pitiful at the moment.
 Picking something up like that is unwieldly. It would take both hands. Miss Petunia, are you able to offer any hints on this? Jan waves Miracle Grow stick in front of Petunia!

Don't forget how small it is. Hint-- it is related to clothing, but not a sewing item. This is a toughie. I had never heard of this item. It is wayyyyyyyyyyy cool.

I can't even begin to venture a guess - I instinctively thought it was some sort of torture device!

Petunia said it has something to do with clothing - what about a press-stud closer? (With the garments from those days, I imagine a gadget like this would have come in handy) (If they had press-studs, that is
 )

 Yeah, I read that  Not a button press. I usually do well with deductive reasoning Why would a chatelain need to carry this about all day? I thought about it being used to turn cloth rightside out after sewing... or like for a sock or other small item. Is it magnetic? Does it pick up pins and needles?

Your kinda getting close but it has nothing to do with sewing. And it's not magnetic.
