I found this today. It's 2 1/2 inches long closed and 3 1/2 inches long opened. Is stamped 'sterling'. Has a hinge and what looks like a pin on the back side. Also on the narrow end, it is sharp and has a small upward bend. As I dug it out of the hole, I thought I had found the end of a spoon. :P
I remember the DAV metal piece. It was a miniature licsense plate (#,s on other side)for a key chain. Postage guaranteed if dropped in any mailbox.
I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines. I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.
Very cool find....even if I don't know what it is....but because of its size,and the fact that it folds....it might have fit in a pocket.....I think something might have been attached to the pointed part at one time....something that deteriorated over time....like a brush or something....or that a small cloth was attached for cleaning something....
I go a great distance,while some are considering whether they will start today or tomorrow
A hankie clip? Wrap the middle of the hankie around the sharp thingy, let it drape, then clip it on to a belt or blouse? Those ole ladies always had a hankie with 'em. Or a money clip, like WSD said.

WSD, zipper pulls had a length of cord on them to pull from the waistline to the shoulder/neck area. Gawd, that sounds like sooooo much trouble! We filly's went to a lot of trouble for you stallions! (I have absolutely NO idea of what one horse is from another!!!)
