[QUOTE="vintagerobin, post: 9467411, member: 486"]Ok, this one can't be a medical tool. :-) It's bone on each end with a metal sleeve in the middle. One end comes out and flips around to what looks like a tiny crochet hook. The other end had a point at one time, I'm assuming. It is marked with a patent date of Jun. 29, '80. But a patent search for that date brings up nothing. And a search for June 1880 brings up thousands of things. What is this used for? Thanks in advance!
