Put something in the picture with it for size reference also if you can tell a little about where it was found those are things that may help with the identification.

 

[robshellbrook]

Its about 5 inches high and about 2 1/2 in diameter , it was found in plastic in province of Saskatchewan ,Canada

The 6 sided blue star could represent The star of David a symbol in Judaism. Your item may have something to do with the Holocaust.

 

[Back-of-the-boat]

Your item didn't have ashes in the plastic with it did it. If it did they might have been the remains of a Holocaust survivor that had been buried by family. The numbers 8/43 could represent when the person was rescued or when that person passed.

No lol ,I think we are in the wrong trail .This cones were not sealed on the bottom but stock on top of each other ,I got like 6 of this . It was found on the old farm in plastic bag

funny i know where this place is,not sure it has to do with your object though
Plastic Injection Molding and Assembly Company in Lexington Kentucky

If there are any Jewish religious establishments in your area you could find out if it is associated with any of the above described possibilities.

 

[Back-of-the-boat]

Well the six sided star is The star of David.

 

[robshellbrook]

Wrong star , my has six sides the company you refer to has only five sides

 

[Back-of-the-boat]

If you had found 7 of them I would think they might be candle snuffers for a Menorah.

Wrong star , my has six sides the company you refer to has only five sides

yes just guessing, what kind of metal is it, it just dosent seem ornate enough for a religious object
the #s seem to be somekind of code tracking, measurement, ID for whatever its used for

 

[Back-of-the-boat]

Google star of david, click on images of star of david the 64th image is your star, now the significance of the numbers needs to be found. Sadly those might be the numbers that were tattooed on the victims in the Holocaust. Are all six the same set of numbers?

Cool I.D. the star of david had me way off. Glad the description is in the picture if you enlarge it describes what is was originally.
