This item is 1.25 inches high and about 0.75 of an inch at its widest point. It has grooves around it, one of which is aligned all the way around for the string. I don't think its a plumb bob because it is very hard to tie the string centrally to let it hang evenly. Also to big for a pull through for a gun. The number T355oo1 is stamped around edge and other letters I cannot read.
Any ideas? And why is it in two parts.
It's a toy bomb. A cap placed in the depression it's string holds it together and it's dropped and BOOM!

Many thanks TubeAmp and Swampdogg that never occurred to me, any idea what age it might be. This reminds me that I had a dart shaped one when I was young with a metal top and plastic body.
Circa 1930, from the UK.
