I have no idea what it is. It's a circular piece of metal mounted on a wooden handle. One end of the metal part has a serrated blade edge; the other end is smooth. The metal part isn't a solid circle; there is a small gap where the two ends should meet. Also, there is a hole in the "top" end of the metal part.
Anyone see one of these, or know what it's used for? There is a photo showing 2 angles, just click the link:

I think that it is a tenderizing mallet used to make tough cuts of steak more tender. The serrated edge makes a lot of tiny cuts in the steak which tenderizes the meat after you have pounded it a dozen or so times. I saw our butcher do this with something similar looking whenever we ordered "cube steaks"and I have not seen one used in many years.

Is a meat tenderizer and is easy to use and improves the taste and texture of any cut of beef, fish, or poultry. Just push the tenderizer over the meat and the steel do the work (use like a hammer). By tenderizing beef, chicken, pork, lamb, venison, or fish, food will marinate faster and cook in no time.

its not a meat tenderizer. its doesnt have the weight and the teeth are for cutting. i would agree with the two who said getting corn off the cob.
