The nib looks like the calligraphy nibs I’ve used in the past so if I had to say, it’s (like others have said) a dip pen. The friction-fit nib supports that, too, because you’d want to be able to change to different nib types for different fonts easily while still using the same nib holder, same as you do for calligraphy nib holders nowadays

Size 3 US? That’s tiny!
Awwwww don’t drag that song into this :/
Thought it was cuticles or peeling skin at first but I believe it’s actually just a watermark
Huh, that’s an interesting chunk of glass for sure! Definitely doesn’t look like part of an insulator, so at least that’s one thing ruled out?
Glad I could help :) It made my life a whole lot easier when I found it so I wanted to share the love.
Wasn’t it the Logitech CEO a few months ago that wanted to make a mouse a subscription service?

Damn, imagine if all of the money, energy, and resources poured into that thing went to something awesome, or something actually useful. But no… simulate more nukes, because we use those all the freakin time don’t we

Hmm, interesting. What color is the glass? I am guessing it is clear?
Could potentially be a chunk of a glass insulator? Did you find it under or near telephone lines at all? A pic would be useful - I collect insulators so I might be able to tell you whether or not it’s part of one.
You forgot ‘This’
I’m curious how much you paid for it, SLS can be pretty expensive! Very cool.
