It's about 18 cm long, both ends screw off and has three round plastic circles on it.
TIA

My first thought was some kind of E-cigarette .....................but I don't think so,thinking more

maybe for carrying something fragile, like a old fashioned temp guage or a even a pencil.
so they dont break when in transit.

It looks like a receptacle for a cotton bud.

Davids suggestion of a thermometor holder sounds reasonable. The rings could be padding for the glass bulb and the screw on ends could hold the dangerous mercury if the item breaks in transit. I used to work in a science laboratory many years ago and we used similar items there.
It could even be for a medical thermometer, hence the shiny, sterile metal.

The size of it 18cm might even be a veterinarian thermometer holder?
