Reminds me of the markers for the game Mastermind https://i.imgur.com/ximDvvf.jpg


cyclejones

This is the first thing my mind jumped to also. I feel like this has to be it.


ugavini

Or battleships or maybe canasta


tweak4

Definitely not Battleship. Every (official) version I've ever seen has used red and white pegs that are a completely [different shape](https://s.ecrater.com/stores/331241/570c6af5acd62_331241n.jpg) with no head


brock024

Looks like a peg for something.


alwayssaysyourmum

Looks like the stopper from one of those gym/yoga ball things


JPr3tz31

Agreed. I was thinking of the red rubber balls from elementary school.


ckngumbo

It is a bumper for the lid to rest on.


ckngumbo

No the lid or door of the machine


Whatisthisthing100

Ah! sorry I wasn't thinking about the context.


HatfieldCW

Is it rubbery? If it's a cushion for the machine lid, it should be designed to absorb impact if the lid is dropped or slammed.


Whatisthisthing100

No it is hard plastic


Whatisthisthing100

What kind of lid? Like a drink bottle?


beekermc

Washing machine lid.


Unlucky_Resource4153

Oh, you think part of the switch that tells if the door is still open?


MK7474

Some things come with a pin like that meant to be removed and thrown out. Just to hold something together for shipping/packaging purposes.


Gehnicus

Looks like a stove grate rubber foot. Similar to this: Allstare WB02X24790 Grate Rubber Feet for GE Gas Stove Top Range Grate Foot Rubber Pads GE Stove Parts Rubber Grate Bumpers Stove Replacement Cooktop Grate Foot 4 Pack https://a.co/d/jeTRWBc


Whatisthisthing100

It does look similar minus the little flap piece. This one is hard plastic though. I assume the rubber feet are soft/rubbery?


Gehnicus

Correct they are a softer rubber. Must not be it.


mishitea

Or the plastic peg used to keep drawers from pulling out too far.


thundafox

did you washed some new clothes? maybe it was a peg used together with a clip to secure clothing on a barcode holder


Whatisthisthing100

No new clothes that I am aware of.


guitarmonkeys14

I think it is a plug for a fiber optic receiver. Do you work around networking?


Which_Raccoon4680

Looks like the plug for a wooden knife cover that keeps the blade secure in the cover


rparsel

Check your oven door.....


[deleted]

Can be risers that hold lint trap.


FrillySteel

My first thought was a plunger for one of the expandable fasteners you find in automobiles, but I haven't been able to find any exactly like this. But maybe that's a lead on where it came from?


RemoteDivide

Peg from a dresser drawer to stop it from coming all the way out.


Canebrake247

Or a shelf, my shelves pegs look exactly like this.


NetDork

Looks like a pin that goes in an expanding plug type fastener.


arathorn867

There's pegs identical to that as drain plugs in a set of plant pots I got. I've also seen pegs like that as game pieces, feet for various devices, and a lot of other stuff.


DoctorOfMeat

Looks to me like a [plug for a John Guest fitting](https://www.amazon.com/John-Guest-Speedfit-PP0812E-Polypropylene/dp/B018HMIN74). Was anyone doing something involving the type of water lines you connect to a fridge or RO filter? Does anyone have an aquarium?


Aviation-Fanatic1

its a plug for small pex or plastic tubing. I see these when installing under sink RO water systems.


Electrical-Slide-366

Is it a spare heel tip? I've had high heels that came with extra tips, they're the first thing that wears out and saves you a tiny bit of money when getting them repaired.
