This thing has a round shaft, no more than 1/16th" and a flat made into it to assure that it is in the proper position. Another possibility, advanced by a friend who is very Edison-savvy, is that the stylus is for a school type voicewriter to play back blue amberol educational cylinders. They have the same tpi as a DD, I believe.
