Is this a toothpick or a olive and nut pick

[littleneckhalfshell]

Is this a toothpick or a olive and nut pick? I found it in a box from an old house. It is A1 silver plate from the Holmes Booth & Haydens company, the pattern is listed as India 1881 Pictures of other patterns on the internet show a different point for Olive and nut picks for this company. The point looks like points I have seen on 19th century toothpicks, but a search for Toothpick under this company shows no results. Any Toothpick collectors out there? At the very least it might make a good Steam-Punk accessory ;-)

Cool item. Is it a foot long or an inch long?

Wouldn't you be taking a chance you'd poke yourself & draw blood?
