And is this really for pleating clothes?
(I have an older version of this machine
in much better condition -- almost like
new, and I paid less than $30).

It's only 4 inches in diameter!

I'm guessing it's a holder for burning incense.

Or a holder for one's glass eye...

What is the hole in the top for, so it can peek out?

Looks like a dish that comes to your table covered to retain heat. The
hole is so you can stick your finger in it to grasp the lid for removal.

I did some pixel measurement, and if that object is 4.25 inches in
diameter as claimed, the hole is only .4 inches across. It seems like
that would require some pretty small fingers.

A flute is a type of pleat. I think most of us fabric lovers use the
specific word, "flute," instead of "pleat," if it is truly a flute,
which is a finishing crimp.

Fortuny, the renowned designer, was famous for his fluted garments.

Yes, I believe the machine shown is truly a fluter. But to compare it
to what we think of as a pleat demonstrates that flutes are crimps in
the fabric (which may or may not double part of the fabric back on
itself, but usually not), and pleats involve doubling part of the
fabric back onto itself in order to form a pleat. Thus, a Fortuny-
fluted skirt on an evening gown could be compared and contrasted with
a standard or a school-girl's plaid pleated skirt.
