Sabotage zunder?

Hmm ... :hmmmm2:
Looks quite suspect, me thinks. Being far away from the original shape, this item is most likely a postwar 'copy'.
 
I think you may have found an extremely uncommon example of a WW2 German UFA Chemical Delay used for sabotage, as identified by Enemy Sabotage Equipment (Identification) May 1945. If it has spent the last 70 or so years sealed in a test tube, that may explain the rather nice state of preservation. Please could we have a few more pictures at your convenience.

Cheers, and congratulations on a very nice find.
