Thanks for all the info. so a Bodkin perhaps,  i could see how it would work,  there is no wear around the neck though, is that an issue?

Hey fellas, first post, and its a question for dad.
This snake came fomr a house dating back to the 1600's in north devon, But then again, it could be from any period betwwen then and now,  It is a 6"(15cm) bone snake. Presumably a hairpin bit i could be wrong.
what do you think fellas, I'm really stumped on this one as im more of a military guy, and dad is antique bottles.
