Fibula?

[rebbel31]

Not sure what it is? Fibula or old nose picker? Found in a field in Bavaria near a medieval town. Age estimate would be awesome too. Thanks for the help.

Don't know. Are there new nose pickers?

C'mon man this came out last year.

Looks medieval to me. I'm thinking maybe an ear pick. You get a nice new precision-made stainless steel one today. Do you know what type of metal this one you have is made from?

I’m guessing it’s for stitching leather

Appears to be copper or bronze. I looked at some old ear spoons, but they all had closed ends.

A nut pick like the ones that come with a nutcracker?

I know, I couldn't find anything like what you have other than the more modern ear picks either. What ever it is, it does look old. Maybe is a tick extractor, as those look very similar, but I think those are a modern design also?

I think it's a needle for tying dresses. I don't know how to explain it in English. https://www.google.dk/search?q=snør...hXMZFAKHZCtCDIQ_AUIESgB#imgrc=unnJpJ30_nERWM:

Jan , they are similar but I can't find any that have a design on it like this one.

Yep I think you're right. Looks like it's a old timey sewing needle. Thanks for the replies mate.

This looks like a ear wax scoop, some were angled and hollow. Possibly Roman or could be Medieval

Maybe it was a leather needle/ear scoop combo. Progression!

Maybe...

a roman or later Stylus. Sharp end to scribble into wax tablets, hook end to erase.
