Can you identify this?
This was found at an 1860's era campsite along with round balls, mini balls, eagle buttons, black powder box caps, saddle shield, etc. It is made of brass and is 3 1/4 in. long. Any ideas?

It's an entry thimble, the ramrod pipe where the ramrod enters the stock. Probably off of a full stock muzzle loading rifle or pistol.

This is a photo of a thimble inlet into the stock of a rifle. For lots of pictures do a google search of images, "ramrod thimbles."
