sharp

Hi everyone. I found this detecting at a house in MA that was build in about 1740. I haven't found much else very old there. The pictures show the scale in inches. It's non-metallic and not very dense, so brass or bronze. It has a sharp hook on the end. I found things with similar shape online...

A few years ago, my father went turkey hunting and found this and gave it to me and I've always wanted to know what it is. He was in colorado springs, colorado. If you shine a light on it, you can see it go through on the edges. Its pretty sharp and slightly curved inwards on each side. Sorry...
