Brass finial? Other unknown finds too!

[mangum]

Hello All! As usual, I need some help from the experts here! The brass finial is heavy, too heavy for a bed I think. The cut out looks intentional. Also have a few more items I could use a positive ID on. Thanks in advance, you guys are awesome! Merry Christmas & HH!!!

Last one, I believe, is the back end of a three pole toggle switch. This link has a diagram of the innards of one, pointing to the contact points that your item has. SPDT type One pole (ON)-OFF-ON 3P Toggle Switch (for industrial use) China (Mainland) Toggle Switches
Yours, being older, was beefier than the one shown.

The brass finial could be the top to vintage andirons. The 6 inside of your ring, could be the size. The next to last item looks like the face to a cufflink to me too. Neat finds, Breezie

I was thinking the same thing, but why would there be a hole in the top? Also, it doesn't appear broken, but made this way. Thanks for your input!

I'm thinking there was a hole in the top for another small finial to fit. Many of the Victorian andirons had a pointed or semi-pointed top atop of a bulbous piece. Look at the attached pic, and you can see where the small, skinny finial is separate. Breezie

Could be the way it was made, Maybe it fit down over a shaft and had a threaded end for a screw to hold it on,jmho............................HH

bed knob??

My first impression for the finial was it's the end of a brass curtain rod.

Either that or maybe the handle for a fireplace poker?
