I dug this today in the back yard of an 1897 house. It is brass and is almost 3 inches long with a curved pointed tip.

Reminds me of a dip pen tip.

You think? It is kind of weighty though. Seems a bit too heavy for a pen tip?

It does look like it was broken off of something though.

If it was lead I would think it was an old pencil. Probably a quill though.

Are quill pen tips hollow? This is solid brass.

Ya want to know what that is.
The end off of a fishing stringer. The other end had a loop.

Well I'm late on this one but my first impression was a broken dentist tool.
