Okay guys and gals - this is quite an easy one (unlike the tea block! Grin) lets see if anyone can guess what this items purpose was? No googling!

Dates to the early Edwardian period and would have been used by someone with a considerable wealth. Approximately 16 inches long and made of ivory and silver.

I purchased it about 5 years ago at aa Antiques fayre in Abergavenny.

I know what it was for, but can you guess?
