Okay, silly question, but it's got a bunch of plastic "pins" on one side and you press into it, sending them forward, making an impression on the other side.  Some people like use it with their faces (or hands).  Seen them a lot in sci-fi movies where they'll have an entire board set up with this with the "pins" resetting to form a picture of something elsewhere (like in the first X-Men movie, Man of Steel, to  name a few.)

And what does this button do?  And why does it smell like fish and sh*t?

And if the original poster had said it vibrated, I was thinking "VIBRATOR!"

There was a couple in the 30's who used large pinscreens, we're talking hundreds of thousands of pins here, to make animations.

Haunting, but strangely beautiful.  (Of course anything based on Night on Bald Mountain could probably be called haunting.)
