Antique Scarf Holder ... or Something Else?

My late grandmother was keeping scarves in this holder (unopened dimensions: 15" x 5.5 ") but I'm wondering whether it's originally intended purpose was something else.

My niece has requested the scarf collection. If this is indeed a scarf holder, I would pass it along to her with the collection of scarves. If not, I would leave it out.

Any help with this would be most appreciated.

 

I would suspect for fine leather gloves........

but I guess it could hold silk scarves too....

 

It does seem to make more sense (the dimensions) as a glove holder, thank you!

 

Given the shape, and how it folds up, I'd say it's a glove purse or something like that. It looks a bit impractical to have to fold up your scarfs so many times to fit them into there.

 

It does appear to be a glove holder and older than the scarves in view. Do let us know if your niece needs help identifying age and value (beyond sentimental, of course) of scarves.

I'm still thinking glove travel bag..

 

mens tie valet ?

 

Gloves and/or ties seems reasonable.
IMHO def not for scarves as one wouldn't normally fold them in that manner and then put them in something that would flatten/press in those folds.

 

..proper way to store a tie for travel...is to roll it..!

 

Thank you! I'm inclined to agree.

 

Yes, I think you're correct, thank you!
