✅ SOLVED Thought It Was A Lipstick Tube, Not

[diggummup]

Found in a junk drawer at an estate sale. Before I took the top off of this piece I figured it was a medium sized lipstick tube. Mainly because both ends have a gold metal flake design. It's brass and measures 2 5/8" long by 7/8" in diameter. The surprise comes when you take off the cap and a multi-spiked end appears. They are steel (stick to a magnet). Kind of resembles one of those lead spiked flower frogs. No moving parts. Any ideas?

Do they come out individually or are they a 'group'?

No they are a group. Pull of the cap and that's what you see. They don't move or come out or anything.

Vaccine. ?
bloodletting scarificator ?

Pretty sure it isn't medical related but I could be wrong. I think it's a tool.

That's what it is. I've owned more than one since 1995.

The points are sharp but not really sharp enough to break the skin unless you apply an unusual amount of force or use a hammer, lol. The gold metal flake ends are what's throwing me off, makes you think not medical or tool.

Yep pool cue tool. I knew ive seen one before. Theres one in my basement LOL

 

[mick56]

Yep, pool tip tool. Pokes little holes in the leather tip, that helps the chalk stay on for less chance of a miscue.

 

[Ant]

So does it scuff up the felt tip or poke holes in it mick56?

 

[Ant]

That's okay you are correct mick56.
