What was this thing used for exactly? lol Measures approx. 10" long. Thank you.

As long as what you are saying it would be the pestle used with a sieve. It may not be all that old.
It also looks like the one I had that I used when canning.

Yepper, looks like a pestle for a chinois aka Conical Sieve. Used to mash berries, fruit or to make puddings, soups, purees, etc.
