Perhaps for sharpening crayon tips? It seems a bit big for that, but the material does not seem sufficient for stronger materials. Perhaps for pointing a candle?
Hmm ... some kind of whistle? Not enough detail to be sure.
For moulding candles, perhaps
Too late- I already answered them all. Don't they show up on your server?

I'll go ahead and reply in case DoN didn't get the other post.
Correct, it's for sharpening candles.
Not a whistle, but a holder for a small flashlight, the flat part is held in the mouth, so both hands are free to work
Yes, it's a candle mold filler.
I've got a few more things that aren't quite right for the web site for some reason or other, if I have time I'll post a couple more like this in the coming weekends.
Happy Holidays to everyone,

Sure -- but they were downstream of where I answered, so I saw that later.
Enjoy, DoN.

It goes on the end of a flashlight to hold between your teeth so you can work with both hands.
