Mystery Snow Anchor...?

[geosean]

Hi all, I bought some ice screws off of somebody on craigslist like 13 years ago and he threw in this thing as well, I assuming is a snow anchor of some sort, but I have no idea. Can't find anything online either. Does anybody know what this is? 

If anyone can tell me what it is or how to use it they are welcome to have it for free! (unless it turns out it's really valuable) 😉. I have never even carried it on a trip in over a decade.

The end of a broken ice axe? That or picket would be my guess.

I seem to recall they sold something like this back in the dim past; sort of like a picket. (?)
