    HELLO ALL....ive had this piece for over 25 years and for sometimes years and months at a time I keep it with me..ive asked literally 100's of collectors and know one knows for sure what this is..ive heard everything from a pipe cleaner - cigar cutter - pendant..a few said it was a 1000 plus years old and could be from the vikings or middle eastern PICT0013.JPG PICT0015.JPG PICT0024.JPG PICT0025.JPG PICT0027.JPG PICT0028.JPG PICT0030.JPG PICT0032.JPG ..its hand made from top to bottom..there is an edge inside the hole..I don't think its silver but it does not stick or draw any pull from a magnet...thanks in advance for any help..this one has me stumped for a very long time...Andy

    Welcome Andy.
    On the end with the round hole is there writing in that circle below the hole?
