Can anybody tell me what this is? It's about 2 5/8" long and has the numbers 8-9 stamped on it? Any and all help is most appreciated.

It is a wooddrill with integrated countersink
It drills properly sized holes for wood screws. The smaller diameter at the tip forms a hole for the screw threads, the larger diameter forms a hole for the screw body, and the flare at the top forms the countersink. I've never encountered a #9 screw so I suspect that it's for sizes 6 and 8.
I have a complete set of this flat style drill bought at Sears years ago. They still work but have been superseded by more modern versions that use a real twist drill and an adjustable collar that allows one tool to work with any length screw.
