In truth I’d never seen one until a year or so ago, when on the train on the way back to London one day I saw someone sitting just across the carriage using one. I was intrigued enough to google it that evening and find out.

Hi,

 

Can anyone help us identify the object in the attached photos? Perhaps you have something similar in your collections? We have several theories but no conclusive answer. The stem is hollow. Any suggestions gratefully received!

 

Thanks,

 

Cat
