What’s this pointy tool.

[Watcher73]

Got this as part of a purchase.  Seller was but entirely sure but assumed to be for removing jewels? Opening up the burnishing (if there is any).  Any confirmation or reference to a web location with more info is appreciated!

Ive seen these on ebay in little cases with other relevant parts that go with it. I did know what it was for but for the life of me just cant remember.  There is a place where you can search through a watchmaker's catalogue of tools. I had a quick look but there are over 700 pages so i gave up and thought I'd pass the work onto you . Give  me a min and I'll come back with a link to it.

it actually works better if you just download the catalog in your favorite format. Then there's index in the back which sometimes helps. unfortunately the tool catalog does not explain how to use the tool

Really no one?
Tool is used for milling the bearing for rubbed-in jewels. For those without a lathe…

Thanks everyone! .  This is so awesome to get this help.  If it still was for sale for a buck twenty five … I would get two, just to be sure.  Grin.  
 

thanks again all. I’ll be trying to find the rest of the other components!

Its nice to have old tools cluttering your bench waiting 5 years or more to be used. I have a seperate bench for that exact purpose
