I’m trying to learn anything about this. Found it in my moms jewelry box when she passed away. Engraved with “Nora”.

I've seen something similar but not as lovely as yours. I'll check my Singer treadle machine tool box and let you know.
Tweezers?? for pulling hair and splinters?? one end looks broken!!
and thread!!
I found mine--it has been passed from my Granny to my mother to me.
You have a Tatting Shuttle.
Tatting is a technique of making lace by hand.
I remember Granny talking about tatting and I have old pillowcases trimmed in hand made lace made of a sturdy cotton thread.
My tatting shuttle is still loaded with a pink/coral thread. I plan to try to find a sample of her tatting and display her shuttle with it.
The tip is broken off yours. It should have a tiny hooked end for grabbing the thread.
Mine is from Boye Needle Co, Chicago.
Mine is the Boye Improved with the motto: More thread-Less Knots.
Yours looks much older than mine.
This one would have been in use by my grandmother in the 1950s-1960s.
