Dug this at a 1756 mill site I have no idea what it was thinking a cane handle has a glass ball attached with iron set like a diamond ring

Well now... that is definitely "odd".

Almost looks like a handblown glass tobacco pipe... but the metal throws that way off.

It?s a bottom tallon leg for a table or chair gripping a glass ball.

I?m thinking more a stool type chair.

Do you need a matching set? I’ve had this one laying around the garage for about 20 years. I figured I’d make a cane topper out of it when I get old and broke down.
