    We just found this cleaning out my Dad's stuff. Have no idea what it is. Likely it was my grandfathers. They both collected watches. I'm not sure what type of tool this is. I think it's brass. Any idea's?

      These are part of a gold testing kit, used with a touchstone.

      TubeAmp is correct. They are/were called gold test needles.
