What us this heavy red LEGO piece with no obvious connectors?












1














enter image description here



I got a bulk box of LEGO on eBay and this was in it. It has the LEGO logo at either end but the pegs at the bottom don’t connect to anything. It’s heavy, like a battery but no connectors and doesn’t come apart. It doesn’t appear to be magnetic. Any ideas?!
