Better Ramrod pics.

[flyinryan2]

Here are some better ramrod pics with a penny for size. I do not see any lead inside the wood to make it a pencil. So any ideas on it.
Thanks,
Ryan.

Shotgun cleaning rod probably. I think it's to big for a pencil lead, and besides I just found this photo.

Cool!
Do you know how old it could be?

As far as age, it seems the favored word is "vintage." My SWAG would be 1900 up to the 1940's. I remember cleaning rods like that when I was a kid, and they weren't new then. That would be in the '40's.
