Is it made of bone? 19th C needle holder or pocket toothpick?

 

[kygirl1227]

it doesn't feel like bone, it almost feels like plastic but they found it like 3ft in the ground where they were diggin up with a bobcat to put in this firepit

 

[kygirl1227]

it just weird looking and the carvings around the top, but the material is throwing me off

That hairline crack in the tip, kind of make me think its bone. It is interest.

heat a needle well and if it melts in(and smells like plastic)its plastic.If the needle does not melt in its not plastic.a definitive test

Does the hole go all the way through? If not, how deep?

Also, better pics of the ends might help.
