Thought it was a bullet of some sort at first.
Fishing weight maybe?
Plumb bob?

Its a makeup tube most likely holds mascara or eyeliner, they are not screwed together, they pull apart. That's the only makeup container that I can remember that came like that.

ok,
I'm going to give you an idea to try to open t.
I think it may very well be some sort of makeup case, but it does look to heavy for that.
Really would like to know what it is.

Put on a pair of those rubber coated garden gloves.
Get a small piece of dry ice and have it handy.
I get mine at the grocery store.

With a plumbing torch heat the longer end good and hot
Put the small end on the dry ice and freeze it.
Grab the two ends with the gloves and try to twist them off.
With all the soaking you have done I think this should work.
Good Luck

I actually have one exactly the same undug. My grandmother gave it to me. I cant find it at the moment but I may have posted it here years ago. I can give you my best guess because mine opens.

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Mine opens and has a brass dabber inside. I believe its perfume or eyeliner like Ant said.. Its not a pen.

Yep

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

If someone knows how to search posts started by me in the what is it forum, with the word brass, maybe you could find it. I dont know how to use the complicated advanced search here at TN.

Cool. Bed you are right. Just a pressure fit right? No screw top?

Im sorry I cant remember but I think mine was screw top. Its all brass including the built in dabber thing. Next time I get out to my storage warehouse I will search for it. I saved it because it was unique and unusual.

Did you ever get it off?

Glad you got it figured out....

And your avatar still terrifies me.

What's it

You got MAX curiosity when you FACTOR in all the responses! Congrats on solving!

That's what it was nerrowed down to back on April 12th, just saying:

Then my guess is Mascara tube.

Yes. You are da man!

Yeah....you also said they are not screwed together, they pull apart. Before that your guess was a fishing weight....just saying.

If you want to act like a TROOL then quote me.

Now that that's out of the way it seemed like the OP thought it was something valuable and I didn't want to spoil it. My mother was a makeup lady and I have had enough girlfriends that I remember that shape was the same or similar to mascara. JFYI after the OP was having difficulties opening it I should have wrote for you that mand the SOME eyeliners and mascara tubes pulled apart.

Now what was your conclusion, JUST SAYING

Yeah....you also said they are not screwed together, they pull apart. Before that your guess was a fishing weight....just saying.

It looks like there is a rusted eye in this photo... but why would they use a metal that rust. Anyway that's what it looks like in my old eyes:

Strange question.
