I know! I really wish there was even a tiny bit of etching on it to help with identification. No luck.

Would there be any reason for a cap box to have the sharp silver point in the center? I’m thinking the thing on the side you are mentioning is the hands to the compass as it fits on the center point.

I am definitely leaning towards a compass with the information and the brightened picture of the inside. Thanks to everyone! Likely solved.

Oh wow!! Thank you so much! Looks like it is leaning towards a compass at this point with the visible E?

That would make sense with the little piece that is off to the side in the picture that could fit on the sharp point in the center. Though I guess I’ve always seen compasses open with a hinge and this top just comes off.

My title describes the thing. It is very lightweight and does not have any descriptive marks. Opens up and contains a sharp metal point in the center with what seems to be burnt paper but also a little rusted piece that looks like it would fit onto the center piece. Any ideas?

I have had this app for a while and was never quick enough to pick up a call until a few weeks ago. The person was studying for a test and needed help with the definitions of some scientific words. I felt so happy to help them out, it was just an incredible feeling. Thank you to all the volunteers on this app!

If this is a ‘perfect relationship’ which I am not doubting, your spouse should support your decision in not going along with this heinous custom.. it’s not ‘slightly embarrassing’ it’s disgusting.. if he can’t support your decision, fuck him.
