It was kind of dark and crusty. I soaked it in vinegar and scrubbed it with some dish soap. Revealed the gold color.

My wife seems to think it might be some sort of knitting needle? Notice the sunburst design on the end.

Not too sure but I wouldn't touch the pointy end.

That does remind me of a joke.....

Question: How do you tell the difference between an oral and rectal thermometer?

Answer: The taste!!

Now... why exactly would you advise against touching the pointy end?

My guess is a stem for a motorcycle rear view mirror.
