A bodkin is traditionally a blunt needle with a large eye for drawing tape or ribbon through a loop or hem .
Willems that one is a very unique one and must of been very special to someone long ago.

Wow, love the finds. I enjoy seeing the incredible artifacts and coins found in Europe. Thanks for sharing.
Willems, Have you had the hallmarks deciphered? It may be one of the earliest known Claddagh items if it dates to 1600's. Check out Wikipedia on claddagh items. Dave.
