I think that one of the "clues" about what this item originally was, would be the orientation of the picture in the Stanhope. Obviously, if it started life as a bobbin, the Stanhope end would have been at the bottom... and therefore the bottom of the picture would be in line with the short end of the item. On the other hand, if it were an awl (my vote...) or a letter opener, it would have been oriented in the opposite direction. Do we have a clue what the orientation IS?
