ShareThis object is both a handy tool and an attractive accessory. Its engineering is simple. Its design…elegant.
While this one is in the form of a duck, a crocodile or pair of hands would be lovely options, too.

a bottle opener
My guess as well.
It's a door stopper, to keep a heavy door open.
A shoe horn
I don't know what you call it, but I think it's the thing you put on the floor to help you remove your boots.
A paper or money clip?
I think it's a paper weight. It's makes a great coversation piece.
While I want to guess that it's a fancy brass bag clip, I think brideane is right and it's a doorstop.
We used to have an umbrella when I was a kid that had a head like that as the handle. We fought over who got to use it.
Pat. Looks like an antique boot jack
Boot jack.
I think it is a shoe horn
I'd have to guess door knocker…
It,s a lovely piece of Art aka paper weight/optical allusion…..or a reminder to feed birds and ducks
a fun toilet!!
