ANSWER: OPIATE TOOLS
I would be grateful if you would take a look at this piece and let me know what you think it is, and where it could be from. This is what I observe: It’s highly articulated. Almost every piece moves. It could be utilitarian because one of the “legs” looks like it’s a crusher and the other a spoon or scooper.

"It looks like a day of the dead piece to me. Could the legs be for snuff or even cocaine? Thats what it made me think of at any rate." --Penny Whitlow, 02/07/09
"Thanks for looking Penny. Carolyn Sunday said that she used to have a piece like this and it was used for Opium – so you were on the mark! The swivel is a fob, which was used mostly to hold pocket watches." --Nona Grampp, 02/07/09
