What is it

[jtw1313]

Wanted to repost this with the right pictures........I was at work when I first posted.........I found this at a old home site that was torn down I did find a arrow head in the same area so I'm wondering if it could be Indian related.......my first guess was end to a pipe but then I thought that would be so small

Kinda looks like a whistle?

 

[jtw1313]

I tried blowing in it no noise.........unless some kind of dog whistle

Almost looks like someone tried to make a whistle out of something else

When you mentioned the arrow head. I thought how much it resembled a "whistling arrow head". Try a google image search. My second thought is a small steam whistle. Maybe your lungs just don't have the force to make it whistle.

Co2 ?

Reminds me of a metal shelf holder. It would screw into a metal base and a shelf would slide in the slot. You would have 4 of them. Otherwise, I agree with relic lover - could be a bear or cougar whistle!

It's obviously an early Oscar Meyer Wiener Whistle.

Modified tobacco pipe stem. IMO,

AARC is on the right track...


It's part of a cigarette holder.

I have seen this before...... but where (and what)?

Is this a tip for one of those tools for fishing wires into walls and other blind spaces you can't reach?

Looks like a wire fed welding tip the someone modified. Size is right too.

 

[Icewing]

This is a good one, and vhs07 came up with a very close ID, but the items in his pic are tips from a wire feed welder, which is what I think yours is because of the course threads, BUT...

Here's an item I found in a toolbox on the back of this old steel wheel McCormick Deering tractor that I think is from about the 1920's. There were several in the box, but the guy was a corn farmer and saw miller, and there were no wire welders when that tractor ran, so I'm at a loss for my piece because this has fine threads.

But I can say for sure Native Americans were not making any threaded brass pipes or whistles.

 

[jtw1313]

I'm pretty sure this is made of bone or something similar

 

[DCMatt]

Search bone cigarette holders

 

[tamrock]

Maybe someone thought they'd make a whistle out of an antique bone needle case.

 

[P.ALLEN]

pipe as stated above or maybe a cutlery piece
