Whatizit?
What is this? It is made of metal and measures approximately 3.75" long. A magnet does not stick. The object does not appear to unscrew in any manner nor does anything appear to be broken or missing. There is the number 7 stamped at one end. My guess is that is has something to with sewing but I really have no idea!
Thanks to Broncoitis for identifying the mystery item as an obturator for a tracheostomy tube. The number 7 refers to the internal diameter of the tube. Yuck! To see a picture of an obturator that looks just like the mystery item, please click here.

I would have bet a danglie earring, but if it doesn't pull apart, that'll hurt...
I looks like part of one of those tacky balancing desktop sculptures, like this. The ends of this curve piece look pretty evenly weighted, but that doesn't account for the 7 stamp.
looks like a belly button body piercing thingy
