Unidentified artifact. Has a hook-like shape with a folded over at end. Shaft is slender and grows in diameter at end where there are two circular through holes, one large and one small, and a rectangular notch at end, where it would join handle.
Found among a group of leather-working tools originally stored in box 1961.13178.1; perhaps this was used in shoe-making or leather-working as well.
