Is it lead? Reminds me of battery lead, but I would think that's too big.

A really big harmonica! joking...

My uncle owns a farm in western Mass that was once a sheep farm. Maybe something for combing wool in the day in prep for spinning?

But wouldn't the teeth be of different sizes to produce different notes?

How about an old squeeze box (accordion) reed?

Actually the teeth vary in size..not sure if done on purpose or not.

Wouldnt the "reeds" have to be flexible to create the sound...these are very rigid?
