    I am thinking it is either something to do with wool or some scary surgical tool form early 1900's it is clearly solid sterling silver and I think was my grandmothers who was a registered nurse at DePaul Hospital. Anyone that can tell me please write! Thanks

      LOL I just saw your message on Pinterest about this thing! A medical instrument would not be made from sterling silver, I don't imagine. It's shaped just like a lemon.

      Hmmmm...

      Egg topper!

      Kyra, how do you know this stuff???????? :-D

      Hehe, I know because I'm full of cruelty (toward eggs!), lol!
      Ah, and yes, Bonnie, before stainless steel there was medical/surgical devices in silver or silver plated (plus it has an antiseptic effect!).

      I have to say I'm very impressed kyra, well done.

      Thank you all for the answers and jokes! lol I was clueless. Also am relieved it is not a medical instrument! I can not write the scary ideas I had that would be cruel and unusual. lol I also am amazed at how much it is worth!
