Hello, can anyone please identify what this item is, approximate time period and what it was used for? My father collected vintage photography equipment and I found it in his things. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

It's an accessory to retouch negatives. There are a couple others posted here on CW.

These date from the 1880s to early 1900s. More information can be found here: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/25920-what-is-this?in=166
