Are there no identifying marking, part numbers, or anything on it? |

Its either a thingamajig or doohickey. Sorry I can't be of any help, but just could not resist. Best wishes on identifying it. |

I guess I don't but it was in with all the other space food and everything else in the box was NASA related. |

Others may see it differently or have other facts but in my experience the 'spacier' hardware gets, the more there are numerous markings on said hardware. Enjoy the hunt, wherever it leads. That's much of the fun... |

On further reflection, the component has amazing similarity to the differential girdlespring integrated within a Turbo Encabulator |

Looks more like an illudium Q-36 explosive space modulator. Careful with that thing! |

It's the prototype for a self-sealing stem bolt or a reverse-ratcheting routing planer. (Points if you get the reference.) |

Hart, rather than points, I'd prefer gold-pressed latinum. |
