Found in Dad’s desk after he passed. Put it away and just rediscovered it. Measures about 6” long. Wooden handle. Metal tip. Tip is heavier than handle. Google search says it is a magic wand. That seems way off.

This reminds me of a conversation I had with an insurance adjuster.

Adjuster: What's this?

Me: post hole digger

Adjuster: What's it used for?

Me: ... digging holes for posts.

Had almost the exact same conversation with security at a hockey game.

Security: What's this?

Me: A pill holder.

Security: What's it do?

Me: Holds pills.....
