If I told you I had a baculum, what would you think I was doing with it?
Dunno if my great grandfather had one, but he used a twig off a black walnut tree for the same thing.

I think, Atlanta's Kevin Willis. (currently, though Parish played forever and looked like death warmed over at 43)

You're close! 
What I had in mind is the bone from a male raccoon's penis.  'Round here it's called a Tennessee toothpick or a cowboy toothpick.  I don't pick my teeth with the one I have, it's just a conversation piece that sits on my bookcase.
