    Close enough for me. It is the inner workings of a natural gas engine, gas mixer valve. It is where the air and gas are mixed before entering the turbo.

    I'll have to make my clues a little harder next time. Over to you Andcp

    Not printing, not moulding.

    "It is something to do with stimulation."

    ....sort of, depending on what type of stimulation you are talking about.

    The slot in it, near the battery, looks like somewhere you could rest a cigarette. Part of an ashtray perhaps?

    No, but it is (sort of) smoking related

    Not snuff. Do you want a clue?

    (honestly, I'll be amazed if anyone guesses)

    No.

    Is it a weight specific to tobacco products?
    Is it a carving made from the fossilised remains of the fist person to die of lung cancer?

    Not a weight.
    Not a carving, but something equally as useless.

    I was wondering whether it might be one of those "cold irons" that are used for reducing swelling to boxer's cuts but can't see how that could be loosely smoking related
