So yes it looks like a penis, but, its a french curved ruler. Used for measuring sleeves and difficult to measure things in sewing/seamstressing.

It likely has other uses, like phallic objects perhaps, but this is the only one i know it for.

It’s used for cutting armholes and tapers and stuff in clothes when you’re good enough to eyeball the approximate ratios but not good enough to freehand the exact cut twice.
