I found it on a rocky beach, it's very heavy. It seems to have some type of different material surrounding the teet... And looks like it was attached to something on the bottom as per picture shows.

    Many thanks

    Could be, but it's way to heavy to be a fire gate.

    What is the white on it? Paint? That stye attachment is suggestive of cast iron bathtub leg attachments. Can't see that as a tub leg, though.

    I vote for a finneal. Maybe from an cast iron bed frame, or an iron grate as deepsecrets suggested.

    What about an old (bigass!) lamp elevator counterweight... all kinds of shapes were used once.

    Some recent, "antique" looking ones here:

    While I have aimed in my postings to be irenic and conciliatory, rather than polemic, I have yet endeavored to set forth the
    truth, let it favor or impugn whom it might. Any notice of misrepresentations or mistakes occurring in these prose will be most thankfully received
    by the author.

    I think you got it Matt, after seeing your post I just remembered I have a couple of those also. The bottom isn't identical, but they probably varied a bit. Great ID!
