462 is what we call a "Marrow Spoon". Used when fly fishing.
When you catch your first fish this is put down the fishes throat
into its stomach and used to scoop out the contents so they can
be examined,

Surely that's a piscevomitoscope, or something ? "Marrow spoon"
originally just meant a spoon for digging marrow out of cooked long
bones and this could well be one.

This tool was supposedly used for a different purpose than marrow digging.
