Solved



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

cant imagine why you wouldn't try to open it
being brass, it wouldn't be rusted shut
unless, your teasing us

Welp...
It has been 2 days and nothing...

I just cant open it. Without damaging it. Tried the duct tape and all with WD40. Guess I give up. Bet it was surrounded by wood or something. Anyways, thanks to all who has tried. One of you may be right. Just don't know who.

I don't remember this being mentioned but where did you find it. By water I could see it being fishing related but far from water not so much. Interesting.

 

[Rich in Houston]

Houston warehouse district. Near old railroad tracks.

Interesting, does it feel hollow by the weight, or solid brass? Anything rattling around inside?
Matchstick or toothpick case is a good guess. Happy Hunting, Sub

It just might be a pen after all. I found this. Review: Inka Pen Close to what it is...

There he is !

Welp... no luck so far ehh...
I meant to ask...
Does it feel hollow? or solid ?
Does it have something moving inside when you shake it ?

Feels lite for brass. Or seems like it would be heavier if solid brass. Nothing rattling inside. Have it soaking in olive oil for a few days and try again to open.

I think it is an adjustable brass fishing weight! You can ad 0-5or6 lead bb's to leave it light or make it heavier.
In the attached photo you see one just inside at 1 o'clock. and a smaller one taken apart right in the middle.
I can't believe it took 4 pages to solve this.
Thanks for waiting on me.

Could be. Someone else suggested it as well. Just no indication of an eyelet at all on either side. Thanks for the reply..

I'm going with pen idea
how you can stand not trying to open it up?
it would be the first thing I would do. looks like you cleaned it ?
perhaps your teasing us

Not trying to tease at all. Been trying to open, Don't wanna damage it. I already did put a little plyers mark on it trying the duct tape wrap idea. I have it soaking in olive oil Right now and will try again today. Sure looks like it opens to me but maybe not.. I think the bullet pen is the most logical possibility though. Won't know unless I get it open..

 

[Rich in Houston]

For real? Are you serious? Not Magnetized and not sign of a hole but the shape is suspicious..

 

[Rich in Houston]

Not enough tape :P heh

I used quite a bit. And the tape would start sliding as I twisted. And I did leave a little mark or two. Soaking it still but may try the freezer and-or heat today.

Wishing luck sounds like I'd be crazy trying to figure it out!

Like I told you in the beginning, it's a pen. Then I said "put it in the freezer". But you can do on more thing so you dont damage it. Put the bigger end in water and freeze it, that will give you grip on the pen side and the pen cap you can get a smaller rubber grommit drill a hole in the rubber for the pen cap and twist that bad boy off. Just saying

 

[BigWaveDave]

I would have thrown it away by now

You may be right. I'm going to give it a try here later. Thanks.

I tried. Can't get it open. Duct tape, freeze tip, put a few bite marks on it with no luck.

I gave up...
