Looks to me like two things... the lens hood (shade) appears to be like
those for the Olympus Trip 35 and 35-RC. The other 'mystery' element looks
like a selenium booster cell for an old light meter... either a hand-held
meter or perhaps a booster for a built-in meter in an old camera. From the
look of it I'd say maybe late 1930's to 1950's era. If it is a selenium cell
the age means its probably died by now.
