I believe you are looking at a portable line drier.

Not a line drier, although that is a pretty good guess. The mystery object is less than 3 inches long.

Maybe it's a can opener? Every old tackle box seems to have one.

The "Hook-On" wire winder.

They are scarce. I've got one, but have not seen many others.

Wow, I didn't think anyone was going to get it! Congratulations, Dean! I will get your dollar in the mail on Monday!
That winder is probably the most unusual item I have ever found in a tackle box.

Shucks, Dean, that's a great idea, but unfortunately I already put your dollar in an envelope and dropped it in the mailbox! Besides (sadly), I don't even know any youngsters. So I guess it is up to you to pass this one forward!
Cheers,
John
