Horn: the kind used for shoe covers, but this one is very short and curved. The shape + the pattern of the sewing supplies company = 99% Glove Stretcher. Warning/Information for Antiques Collectors: Material: Mostly brass or zinc plated. Over time, it develops a dark patina. Don’t rub it to make it shine again, as the patina is what gives it value to collectors. Value: If it’s intact and the pattern is clear, a piece like this is worth between $15-$40 to antique enthusiasts. In short: It’s not a weapon or a medical instrument. This is an old-fashioned “fashion accessory.” Our grandmothers had one at home, like scissors are today. Did you find one in an old family box?
