Is this a lens hood for the Elmar 5cm 3.5?

Can't find it in the Accessory Guide or the Collector's Guide under filters. Under macro and micro accesories there's a ZOOXY helical focusing mount for the 50mm Elmar that reminds me of your item, but they are different.
 
Raid,

Don't know about smaller item, but the first item appears to be a part of the "helical focusing mount", which mounts the Elmar lens using the bayonet lugs of the lens barrel ( lens is attached with the LTM focusing mount in the "collapsed" position ).

This gizmo is used with the Focaslide for close-up work. The size & shape looks right - is it ridiculously heavy for a lens-hood ?

Either way it is not a lens hood and it cannot be used that way.
The "hood" is not that heavy. It is champagne color.
 
Steve,
I wish I had the answer to your question, but I know it cannot be a lens hood. I just emailed the ebay seller about it.
