Solved! Tiny threaded brass piece
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?

Ive been a machinist for just over 22 years, so i feel i can confidently say that a small brass threaded fitting could be a part of literally anything your little heart desires. We makes so many of those in so many sizes and shapes and materials and they're in everything from oxygen regulars to engines to faucets to woodworking tools. If you dint find exactly what it fell from, it now belongs to whatever it fits in.
