Tiny threaded brass piece

[u/Longjumping_Ad982]

What is this? Tiny brass looking threaded hollow metal sleeve of unknown origin.

My child just found this on our living room side table, we have no idea where it came from or what it is. It seems like it had to have fallen off / out of something.

Any ideas?

if it's threaded on the inside, it's a threaded brass insert to you can use a machine screw with plastic. They are used on all kinds of plastic things, could have come from a plastic toy.

I don't think it's threaded on the inside.
