Dearest heathens, I need to borrow from your vast wealth of knowledge... What in the hells is this thing?

Please and thank you!

Edit: Mystery solved, see my comment w/image below!

Okay, wow... I found it. It's the lid to one of these!!

Thank you all for your input, without it I may not have happened to stumble upon the solution!

It was found 'left behind' in a home that was purchased. Not much context there, I know... There are no openings in the cylindrical compartment, once the lid is screwed on, it makes a pretty good seal.

It could be a float to hold glow sticks for a night dive.

It's obviously something meant to be reusable. Just how is the back of it shaped?

A float for glow sticks is pretty logical, I will look into your line of thought!

The end of the tube/cylinder is just sealed, mostly flat. It does look like it was meant to float or sit/rest atop something.

Beats me

Same here!

Did you find it on an ocean beach?

It could be a new version of a glass Japanese net float.

It's plastic, I probably should have included that info initially, but I'll check out the net float angle and see if I come across anything similar.

@DesertInfidel

Is the small circle the lid?

@LiterateHiker It Is indeed.

floating chlorine thing for a pool?

Kind of looks like one of those but there is no way for the pool water to interact with its contents.

Pool party floating doobie storage

@gonzo93304 Honestly, that's probably the best alternative use for this! 🤣

Useless? Good conversation starter at least.

Possibly both? I've seen a good many things and I'm at a total loss.

How about a few hints--like how did you find it and where, how big is it, is the bottom of the tube open?

Carin Level 8 June 26, 2019

The bottom of the tube is completely closed. I wish I had a few more hints myself!

As far as size, the dome-shaped top section is probably 12" in diameter, the opening to the cylinder is around 3" diameter an the cylinder is maybe 10" deep/long.
