Not sure what it started out being, but looks like a soldier used it for a pencil. Is it lead?

My first thought was 'a valve stem from a tractor'. :icon_scratch:
But if it is made of lead as Spats suggested, then I have no idea what it might be.

I'm thinking 'pipe tamper'. There may have been another piece that fit in the small hole...

It's a Lead Pencil for writing.

My vote is for pencil. I've seen several examples on these forums that look just like it.

Can’t believe it it is a pencil. Thanks to those who were correct.2033257D-279D-48A3-B8E9-0413F24E32B1.webp
