Default ok, what the heck is this little tool

picture he
http://www.metalworking.com/dropbox/...haped_tool.JPG

the accompanying text file says"this tool has the number 265C stamped in
white on the body, no other markings. Brass band around cap, body and cap
seem to be bakelite or hard rubber. Strips and pins shown below the tool
are stored in the handle. All are attracted to a magnet. No maker's mark
anywhere on the tool.

I picked up several of these from an estate - if I had to guess, I'd say
they had to do with setting and cleaning telephone relays, but I figure
someone here would know what they were for and their age and maybe even
more....
