Always recheck your trash: Early homemade fishing sinker

[toasted]

Found this among my pile of shotgun shells and canslaw from yesterday. Pretty sure its my first homemade fishing sinker and probably very old. Any other ideas? Surprised it took me this long to find one as there is water everywhere where I live

I love finding interesting sinkers as I do fish - I get some big homemade sand cast ones that were used for plunking for salmon on the Columbia River beaches.

Fun Find!

Could be a net weight as well.
