Mystery Object - what is it?

I'm sorting out my drawer of useless objects, and throwing stuff out. But what is this object? I've Googled and still no idea! I don't want to throw it out if it's something important.

It's plastic, and the square end is magnetic and quite heavy. Is it part of a children's toy? My DC are in their 20s now - I did say my tidy up was long overdue!

No idea..but if you throw it out you will find you need it in a few weeks time

It's a magnetic wand toy.

Google lens might solve it

It’s just a magnet. Probably part of a kids magnet experiment kit or something.

Have just Googled! I think you're right - but no idea where it came from. I did start with Google lens, and it came up with a dog toy!

I was going to say it could be part of your sewing kit to find dropped pins or needles.

Edited to add correct link!

I'll label it up carefully, and give it to the charity shop 😀

Well that's annoying. I gave away my mother's old pin magnet thinking it would be easy to buy another if I ever needed one and now I cant find anything similar. It was rectangular with a handle and you wiped it over the floor and it picked up any hidden pins 😕
