    It is 7" long, wide and curved at the pointed end. It was in my mother's tool box which is full of random stuff.

    As clutteredcloset suggested, possibly for rug or re-upholstery projects.

    I thought maybe leather, but rethinking this. Maybe carpet?
    I looked at some photos, some descriptions say carpet, others say leather.

    I saw the curved ones but didn't look closely enough when I was searching. Makes sense. My aunt did upholstery. I have large curved needles too.

    I used one of these to re-sew the leather armrest cover in my old Jaguar.

    I've used one of these, but it's been a while.

    I inherited my aunt's wing chair pattern and was able to recover one from my husband's family, but that was fifteen years ago. I lack ambition for a project like that these days.
