F350Platinum Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 No idea of scale but it could be part of a "lorgnette" or spectacle: It could also be a salt holder handle: Cool and unique find. 馃憤 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPT_GhostLight Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Awesome find, Stering! Is that wood or rusty metal protruding from the bottom. Because the angle of the oval part is offset a bit and looks rounded inside, I was thinking it could be from a pair of very fine sewing scissors.

CPT_GhostLight Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 So it could have been from small steel scissors with sterling finger grips that possibly broke off when the steel rusted away. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geof_junk Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 The offset of the circle looks like scissors to me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
