Before all hades blew up here I was purchasing tiny little items, with the intention of selling some on at some point.

One item I'm pretty sure will be obvious to one of you, but not all.




I really need better pics but the camera is not working so have to wait on that. this is one image I sent to one of your favourite experts too, who told me what he thinks it is made of but did not hint as to what he thought its purpose was. I did only ask about material though as I really do not want to be selling something on that might be illegal! (like new ivory)

Any ideas folks?

Well, it isn't ivory - it's bone. Almost certainly cow or ox bone.

Also I don't think it's what most people will think it is...

that is what Adam said, he's pretty sure it is bone too. He also, while he was at it, wished me luck on the VISA thing.

As to what it is I don't have a clue! Sorry if we "talked" about it before but with all that has gone on my memory is completely shot, other than I think we talked about the thimbles not being all that "special" lol

Is there a hole at the end of the metal part?

No hole, it is solid metal that part.
