Made of 440 grade stainless, was included with parts for a keezer so may be related to beer brewing, 1/4 in dia.

Looks like an agitator for a magnetic stirring device. I've seen similar used for the inside of mash tuns.
Sinct it's SS, you're going to have some trouble with the "magnetic" bit.
A lot of stainless is still magnetic. You have to get above 430 grade stainless to be non-magnetic.
It looks like 440 grade stainless and is non-magnetic. It tried with a very strong Neodymium magnet. Also most mash tuns i’ve seen are either made from a cooler, copper or stainless pot and stirred with a motor in the lid, if they are stirred at all, usually just the sparging arm rotates. I don't think I’ve ever seen one with a magnetic stirrer not even sure how that would work through the grains.
