    What is it?

    Trick or treat!
    I'll let you figure out what I want to figure out.

    Looks like a New Yorker cover from the time, of a bunch of Kids trick or treating a scary house in the neighborhood.

    A clacker noisemaker, I'm guessing.

    Re: What is it?

    I think so, too, but what for?
    Whistling past the graveyard?  Scaring crap out of his/her friends?  Looking for a trick while they are seeking treats?

    Here's an example of one, apparently stamped with the words "wicky wacky" although that didn't bring up any additional information.

    Just making scary noises while trick or treating, I assume.

    Yeah making noise. That type has a metal plate for the two balls./beads to bounce off, the ones Clod linked have the wood drilled out and a slot cut to make a clacking sound.

     Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose.
