Maybe it was found in her sewing room, but maybe it was misplaced.........it is a funnel of some sort, I'm just dumbfounded??????????
Yes , I believe it is a corner pusher outer .
I'm thinking your grandmother multitasked this tool. It may have been a kitchen item but she found a use for it while sewing or making rugs. It may just have been a found object she put to use in her sewing room.
If the hole is only 1/8" then it could very likely have been used to make lengths of 1/8" wide tubing, used for knitting up into larger or bulky items such as mats. Remnants were first cut into strips 4 x the width (1/2 inch) then fed through the metal funnel to make it roll into itself, making the tight narrow tubes.
They also used metal horns like that as hearing aids back many years ago.
