I've never owned any Pentax gear so I have no idea if it's a fob or badge that came with a camera, or some sort of ball marker for putting. Any one know?

The APUG mobile site apparently doesn't allow me to post a photo. I had to switch devices and shoot another photo.

The shutter will not cock without film loaded for dry firing. One can rotate the frame counter past 0 while closing the camera back or use the shutter key to accomplish linking the shutter cocking mechanism with the body's cocking lever for dry firing without film loaded.

Well that's a cool override. A bummer if you loose this little fellow though. I'm going to post it in the WTT section of the classifieds.

A lot of common little things can be used to cock the shutter of the Pentax 67. This was a very pricey trinket in the camera's heyday.
