✅ SOLVED Silver item

[DiggerDave99]

I found this at the site of an 1850's mining camp near Sacramento CA. It came up strong silver on the Ace 350. It looks like a silver chess piece but it has some weight to it and it has a threaded hole on the bottom. Any ideas?

To me it appears to be an antique lamp finial.

Agree. Vintage lamp finial.

Were these known to be made of silver at times?

You mentioned it has a bit of heft, which fits with my first impression that it looks like nickel plating on ?? brass??, but I can always be wrong.
