I found this small aluminum item in a tool box. It’s 1.5" diameter. The two pieces screw together. I thought it was a little stash container, but the larger piece has a nub inside which would fill the void on the smaller piece when screwed together. Is this some tool? Or maybe a little machinist project.

    If there’s any small gap left when it’s screwed together it could be a nitroglycerin tablet holder

    I don’t know what it is for sure but I bet it’d work great as a pill crusher.

      This is almost what it is. They come in lots of shapes and sizes. This one is probably for hash coins. Seems too small for a puck for a rosin forge, and hash is commonly sold in pressed coins.

          This thing is threaded though, which would be counter productive to the pressing.

            I don’t think the threads would impact the pressing with this design; they are outside the inner chamber.

    maybe perhaps it’s a pair of caps for sensitive equipment, like some coaxial cable termination. these things can get expensive

    My wild guess would be two end stops for pipes. One external and internally treaded for the same diameter.

      That’s what they are! I have a box full of leftover parts from years of home repairs, and I frequently store caps of opposite genders screwed together like this.
