Def some kind of elastomer rear shock…I’ll guess from the back of an old Pro-Flex.

I’m with Underground and Ernesto, mainly because the Proflex/Girvin/K2 rear shock didn’t have eyelets if I remember correctly…it was fixed to the mono-stay at both ends.

Answer from Jeff at First Flight Bicycles: “The elastomer stack shock is from a Mountain Cycles full suspension bike.”
