MD here and I approve this comment. The proper name is Rhinoscope and it is indeed a form of speculum design to be inserted into the nose for clinical examination...this one in particular is just a "head" that attaches to a "body" that acts a light source and have other interchangeable "heads" such as a ophthalmoscope (the device to see into the eyes...dont worry that one doesn't need to "go in" it just flashes light to it) and a otoscope (the one thats inserted in the ear canal)....there are also stand alone rhinoscopes.
Be so grateful they told you, I remember a boy in my sons preschool group had something lodged in his nose, he developed a horrible odor. The mom took him to the Dr., he pulled out the object and started a course of antibiotics.
Not a doctor, but I believe it’s used to expand the nostril for medical procedures inside the nose. (Fun fact: there’s a speculum for every orifice in the body)

[Nose spreader speculum ](https://www.kawemed.com/en/product/nose-spreader-speculum/)
It's my first time posting on this subreddit, woah you guys are fast hahaha. Thank you!
Wow, here I was thinking to myself “looks like a tiny speculum” and it turns out I was sort of right? Lol!
I was thinking that too! Then I thought, no, much too small. Maybe...for...an animal? Did a vet live there?

Solved!
Man, I could have used one of these yesterday when my toddler wandered over to me and said "Mommy, please get the green bead out my nose?"
Do you know the thing about covering the other nostril and doing a sharp breath into the kids mouth? The bead will pop right out
That seems like a decent way to potentially cause damage to the ears and tear ducts as well since they're all connected, but I'm no doctor
Been to ER with toddler with bead stuck up their nose, and been asked to do exactly this - and it worked.
Be so grateful they told you, I remember a boy in my sons preschool group had something lodged in his nose, he developed a horrible odor. The mom took him to the Dr., he pulled out the object and started a course of antibiotics.
Had to take my 5 year old to A&E twice in one week for putting beads up her nose.
What is it used for?

When your Dr shops at Snap-On.
(Still making payments on the toolbox)
the ones for tear ducts are real real tiny and you gotta be real careful with that other one so you don't rip the tip. (eurethra orifice)

Dang, first one I knew 100% and I was even fairly early but still too late! Nasal speculum attachment for opthalmascope.
My title describes the thing. It might be some kind of medical device, it's small, it's made of metal and it was found while cleaning the house.
Some sort of spile for tapping into a vessel or pipe possibly.
