Anybody know what this it???? Found in my dad's toolbox

[Cowgal]

Hi there, I am new here and glad to find this site ! Found this in my dad's toolbox and have no idea what it is. It is made of brass and the ends do not open. it feels firm but not solid. It is not hollow. Any ideas would be welcome. Thank you.

I am not any help but I would like to know. Post it on the 'what is it' forum. More people read that one. It is under 'Our Discoveries'.

I found one almost exactly like it with my detector except it didn't have the rope attached. I didn't know what it was either! Welcome to Tnet!
