Small something

[njrelicgairl]

Hello

Found this in my sisters yard.Looks like a small vial.If that's what it is . Have no ideal,never dug something like this before.
Let me no if any one has,and is there a way to open this with out damaging it. or should it be left alone? I did shake it and it sounds
like something rattles in side.

But it looks like you can see mold seams on the side? Not a lipstick cover.

Wow, you found a real Extraterrestrial anal probe?
Lots of them were inserted back in the '50s, according to the UFO literature I read in my youth, hahaha.

For real now lipstick tube sound correct to me...

I'm going with lipstick tube and the dried up pieces of makeup rattling around inside.

That what im thinking.

Neutralize the vinegar with a baking soda rub, then rinse in water. If nothing else, it will help clean it up nicely!

will the vineger turn it a red rustic color?or dose the backing soda help prevent that.

This one isn't yours because it belongs to someone else.
But you did manage to find one just like it.

Assuming it's copper or brass, it will bring it back to it's bright shiny original color. If it was painted, that paint will likely come off with this process. If it was silver plated, the plating will most likely come off too if it's left in the vinegar long enough. The baking soda rub helps get the last of the corrosion off and neutralizes the acid in the vinegar. A fresh water rinse just gets the remainder of the vinegar/baking soda chemical reaction off so it doesn't continue to etch the metal.
