This item was in a old sewing box with several other random items I bought at a auction. There was no description for the item. The item looks like stone but the surface can be scratch into with your nail. If you rub it with a paper towel the color of the object leaves a mark on the towel. It has a weird old smell but everything was old in the box so this isn't too surprising. As you can see from the attached images each side has a slightly different symbol on it. I'm really at a loss to what this might be. I've debating everything from a old lead seal to an old bar of decorative soap.

Let me know if you have any questions. Any help identifying what this is would be greatly appreciated.

It may be a pattern marker? (for marking out a pattern on cloth in making a dress).
