I think this brick is used to fit a rope through so a child (or AFOL ;-) ) can drag a vehicle with that rope.

Hi Niels,

the brick was used in a Duplo set of the early 70s. I don’t know the set number, sorry. And you are on the right way. Put a rope through the brick and you can use this to pull a basic car. I can only offer you a german reference for this brick here:

I own one of these bricks too, it is not a fake or handmade by someone...
