It looks really old, Is it worth anything, I can’t find one like it online. The handle is gold in color. I could not find any markings as to materials it is made of. It may not be worth anything, but It never hurts to ask. Thanks for your answers!

Looks like a part of a manicure set. This one I think is used to push cuticles back. If I’m wrong someone will know for sure.

It does look like a cuticle tool but also a sculptors tool. I have a sculptors kit and one of the tools resembles this. Sculptors used them to get the intricate details and lines for their art.

if the loop is open it maybe a botton hook. if the loop is closed and filled I agree with the above

Yep, it is a cuticle tool. These were included in manicure and/or dresser sets as far back as the late 1800’s. Very nice design on the handle of your item.

I think BargainBasement is right. Cuticle tool I think. :)

Hi, Check with a magnifying glass to see if the handle is marked sterling in small print. It could be on the side of the handle. That will make a difference in the price. Good luck. mayeeden

It is a cuticle tool, but what material is the handle? The handle material could make the difference. Are there any markings on the handle or the shaft?

If the handle is sterling or silver plate then it might have a great value than just base metal. It is a metal of some sort right? If is is sterling maybe about $35-50, silver plate maybe $20-25 and any other material $8-15. I’ve sold french ivory manicure implements for about $20 and bakelite for about the same.

Looks also like a black-head/pimple tool too…..! But I think all the others are right with the cuticle tool. Good luck selling it!
