Hi Histarchers -
I'm currently conducting excavations at a 19th century historic house site in upstate NY, and today we came across a carved bone object that has stumped us. It's about 9 cm long, tubular, hollow, with two holes bored through it near one end, and threads cut on the interior of that same end. I've posted two photos on Flickr:

Any suggestions regarding identification would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Cheers,
Kim
