Reminds me of an adapter pin for a convertible air pump for a bicycle. Schrader valves need a pin and presta valves don't. Idk what Dunlop valves need

Like this. I have one at home, if it's not solved by then I dig it out and take a picture.

ooh - This may be it. Not going to say for sure until I can check a somewhat recently purchased mini pump that I don't have access to at the moment, but this seems likely...

Yup. Schrader valve insert for a bike pump

Sounds a lot better than what I thought, looks almost like an ammunition cylinder on a small revolver

Bike pumps that convert back and forth that way are such a pain, because there's small parts like that that are so easy to lose.

Looks like the inside of a valve of some sort.

Finally, I hope!

It looks like the internal housing for the cooling nuts in the stock stem for the TinyMight2 flower vaporizer!

But I could definitely be wrong, I'm pretty high right now!

edit: I just looked at it again, I'm very wrong. Sorry to everyone. Carry on.

My title describes the thing. Sorry, but don't have any more details, hopefully this is enough to not get it removed.

Part of a tap and dye set?

It looks like a brass piece for attaching rivets on a snap press.

It might be an attachment for a wood burning tool.
