What is it ??

[Heather Koch]

Hmm... I'm thinking it bends, as those lines are creases.. But not a clue yet

The object is made of thin steel so, yes, it is a bit springy, but does not bend as I think you mean. Those are not crease lines, but are engraved or stamped into it. I really don't know what purpose they serve.

Edit: It seems I am mistaken; it appears to be made of bronze. Not that it will make it easier to identify.

Yeah I will have to wait for the next photo... My brain isn't working right now

Her's another angle - this would be the back and the other end. The scale is not the same.

A bottle opener?

A bottle opener?

No, not a bottle opener. Those whitish specks are dust so this is not that big.

My wife is suggesting a clasp on a bracelet.

 

[snowbear94]

Sorry, she is not correct, but scale-wise, she is closer.

Fountain pen?

 

[snowbear94]

It's a dip pen, or the nib from one, but that's close enough.

Wife and I just entered the movie theatre. I will not be able to post. If anyone wants to post a new pic, feel free!

This is good timing. I've been wanting to try this. You'll probably need a wider shot, but here's what I have right now, magnified with a powerful little magnifying glass in my pocket knife.

I threw it out because it fell. It's a piece that I throw out anyway because I don't like it. Most people probably leave it.

Fly casting leader (tapered monofiliment)?

 

[Borad]

Not a leader or follower of any kind. It's edible, but I don't treat it that way.
