Old Medical Instrument?
Just a guess....I do not think this is a ramrod. As you suggest it looks like something to remove "foreign matter" from ones body. An old medical instrument maybe? I am assuming that the prongs are metal?
What is the purpose of the threaded piece in the middle? Does it, or did it, screw into the other piece?
If this IS a piece of medical kit it would be getting up to 200 years old IMHO.
