What-is-it question XLV.

This is a scan from an 1886 Meriden Britannia Company catalog.
This item is about 6 inches (15.24 cm) long.
It's often mistaken for a manicure item.
What was it called?

Good morning Cheryl and Trev.

The catalog calls them "ink erasers". I think most people use the term "ink scraper" today.
Good work Cheryl.
