Any ideas?

Dug probably 30 yrs. ago and haven't ID it yet. One piece solid brass. Small drilled hole in one end. Smashed end looks like it could be opened up to put something in it

Maybe a candle snuffer?

Now that is a great guess, Dug.

Huh. Never thought of that. Could be. Thanks

Does it have a place for a wooden handle?

Could it look like these if cleaned? Third is brass but a replica of what traders had for dealing with Native Americans. Warrior smoking pipes both large tribal and smaller personal.

Not really. The handle would bottom out at other end. I'm going to try and open up smashed end to get it back to original shape. I can see candle snuffer maybe but seems like overkill. This things got some weight to it. Thanks for reply though

Possibly a wiffletree tip
Edit in fact I am 99 percent sure that is what it is

Since was smashed, changed shape some. Never heard of a wiffletree tip (will have to Google that).
