I'm wondering how old it is. Brillo and S.O.S disposable
scouring pads were both introduced in 1917, so I think
this item is likely to have become obsolete during
the 1920's or 1930's. I wonder when they were last
manufactured.

If it were big it would be a rug beater. Hang a throw rug out on a
clothes line and use the rug beater to whack the dirt out of it.
