OP, is that metal or some sort of plastic? I can't tell for sure from the picture

Its plastic. It feels hard but shaves off easily with a knife, and the shavings melt.

I hope this isn't your approach to every object you can't identify...

"What is this thing? It's made of flesh and bone. It feels soft and shaves off easily with a knife, until you get to the middle and then it is much harder and cutting it requires a hacksaw. And the shavings don't melt, but taste similar to pork. It keeps screaming its name is "Sharon McMillan". Can anyone ID?"

"Oops, found its Drivers License. Turns out its name was in fact "Sharon McMillan." I feel silly now, but mystery solved!"
