It is used to shine buttons on a coat. You put the plate around the buttons
and then can polish the buttons without affecting the fabric. I've seen th
em in military kits.

Subject: Identify this item?
Two pictures below of an item we just received. The hinged fingers fold up
to create circular openings. Each section is about 6-8 inches long and stam
ped from thin metal.
What would be the use for this item? Any help appreciated.
