“We found this object in an old sewing machine. It is plastic; when you press the button something like tweezers comes out. What is this, and what is it used for?”

If I remember correctly that's a book holder, two straps are used to hold the books and that's the handle.
Used on a siphon hose to keep air from entering the vine wile not used, thus preventing vineger growth.
My Dad had some, he'd get them out when we went ice fishing!
Don't Google it, Duckle it!
