I wrote to the seller explaining why this couldn't be a tatting shuttle and expressing interest in the URL for his research which led him to believe it was. In return he sent me another e-bay link for a sale which ended on 23rd May, where someone paid $20 for an identical item. No wonder he was hopeful.
But at the bottom of this other sale there there was a note that "someone" had told him it was probably (probably!!!) not a tatting shuttle but tweezers, to pull out stray threads. No feedback has been left yet for that item so I wonder if the buyer got what they were expecting or not. The one we were looking at this week has now been withdrawn from sale, but as the seller has 20 pages of goods, with a lot of buy-it-now, I didn't feel inclinined to plough (plow for the US) through to look to see if it was now on offer as tweezers.
