Decorative for a bullet.

No doubt in my mind...the bullet 'looking thing' is indeed a bullet. It appears to be a lead cast round nose hollow-point design. The 'decorations' on it are cross hatching in order to retain bullet grease similar to how the cylinder wall on an engine is cross hatched to retain oil. If you look closely, you can see the land and groove marks from the bullet being shot out of a rifled barrel.
Just as a wild guess...I'd take a shot that it is a .38 bullet shot from a revolver. I've done a lot of bullet moulding, reloading and shooting and there is no doubt in my mind it is a bullet. As I said, my hunch is a .38, from a revolver.

I posted it on the what is it forum, and the consensus I got was it was a bullet. Someone had even found a similar one last year. Here is the link....

Thx for helping and looking..

Man, I used to have hundreds of those cars when I was a kid...I think I'm going to have to find one of those now.

nice find the gruves on the so called bullet are strate rifleing wound cause the bullet to spin so there should be more grooves, and they would be on a slite angle called twist. Unless it is real old I would think. I'm no exspert
