<p>[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 9551982, member: 4654"]It's a old medical tool/needle, as soon as I saw it I went down to my 1810's apothecary box to make sure and yes there is one very close to yours in there, also I recently sold another surgeons tool box form the 1790's that also had 2 of these in there. Often the metal parts are silver, mine are ivory and have long lids but the one I sold had plugs and a tube so the needle could be kept out of harms way just like yours.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
