It is a "Schepens Scleral Depressor With Thimble Small" and is available* though SightReach Surgical, which "makes new and modern ophthalmic products available at low prices for eye care providers in the developing world." It is some sort of ophthalmic surgical device. It is a tad troubling to me that this surgical device--I have this idea that one is poked in the eye with it--appears to be made with a regular sewing thimble. The whole Greek key pattern at the bottom makes it look like your basic-Made-in-Wherever-$1.99-base-metal thimble with a little doohickey soldered to it. Shouldn't they have some specially-made, surgical steel thingy?*"only for use outside of the United States."
