🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Brass inner and outer layers with possible lead between. Non-magnetic. Suspect it is an old tire valve stem but image and term searches don't match.

Can you show picture of the other end? Is it threaded? Thanks

It's approximately 3/8" diameter. Sorry, I should have included that!

the other end is broken off, so I have no idea of original length. That's where I see an inner brass lining with possible lead between the two layers.

Great thinking. It sure looks possible.

That's a good comparison, vhs01. The very tip of my object is almost bullet-like, though.

Other side is broken off. That's where I see the two distinct brass layers with what I believe is a layer of lead sandwiched between.

There are various styles of dart tips. Yours look very much like one after the point broke off. IMO
