This metal tool may also be called a "two-prong" or "split-eye" needle, a weaving bodkin, or a rib stitching needle.
The two rectangular openings at the flat end are designed to clamp onto a piece of leather lace, heavy twine, or a flat metal strip. The material is threaded or wedged into those slots so it stays perfectly flat while being pulled through thick fabrics, canvas, or hides.
It would be used for rib stitching, heavy upholstery work, basketry weaving, or leathercrafting.
Four inches long.

The last photos show other sewing notions that I have listed separately.

Pickup in APPLE VALLEY close to the MN ZOO.
Cash Only
