This small object was mysteriously given to my wife by her grandmother, who refused to say what it was. She passed away without ever revealing the secret. For years, the question lingered quietly in our home. Inside a tiny Tiffany & Co. box sat a delicate silver tool—clearly crafted for a purpose, yet impossible to identify. My wife would turn it over in her hands, remembering her grandmother’s warm laugh and the playful smile she gave when she said, “One day you’ll know.”
The mystery soon became a symbol of family history and unspoken affection. Curious but patient, we eventually decided to uncover its purpose. We asked relatives, flipped through old catalogs, and even visited an antique dealer. People admired the craftsmanship, but no one could name its function.
