That's an interesting little glass item. Is that wire attached to to two pieces?
Id so what kind of metal is it??

Its wire connecting 2 spiraling glass ends..I assume the wire is brass

Those are 'ben-wa-balls'.

No , you must be kidding .. Ben-wa's are a totally shape my friend and usually have makers marks or ordimate design . I'd be willing to bet these are some sort of closure for something like a Shaw or sweater . They are (or seem to be) to large for cuff links but big enough for closing up a garment .. IMHO , Woodstock

Cuff links?

Yah, they could be crude handmade cufflinks.

Wow that was a shocker I had know idea what that was so I googled Ben-wa balls images! Wow Lol to early for that

Scouts out!

My guess it is some home made jewelry because if you google search home made jewelry some stuff looks like it but I could be wrong.

Sorry man, I was guesstimating. I think the bud light had blurred my vision a little

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Maybe some kind of electrical fence insulator

Dude...I think you are RIGHT on. Hilarious. Ben Wa Balls...I was thinking it when I read your post and spit my Keystone Light all over the front of my shirt. I am now typing this on my newly "air compressed" wireless keyboard...which was blown off due to the spillage onto it.
