Small Cylindrical Rubber or Plastic Component

This item is a small, dark-colored cylindrical component, likely made of rubber, polymer, or a similar synthetic material. It features a flanged or rimmed top edge, suggesting it is designed to seat against a surface as a spacer, grommet, or protective cap. The main body of the cylinder is roughly textured with small white or light-colored flecks, indicating either an aged surface, particulate contamination, or a specific composite material blend. Measuring approximately 1 to 2 centimeters in length, the item appears to be mass-produced for industrial or domestic mechanical use. The condition shows signs of wear, including surface dust and minor abrasions consistent with its removal from a larger assembly. There are no visible maker's marks, stamps, or logos, which is common for generic hardware or internal mechanical components. The dark charcoal or black pigment is consistent across the body, though the edges appear slightly softened, suggesting a period of use. Its utilitarian style and material suggest it is of modern manufacture, likely from the late 20th to early 21st century. The craftsmanship is functional rather than aesthetic, focused on durability and airtight/watertight sealing or vibration dampening.
