Brass piece, looks like a game piece

[Vino]

Going through my stuff from the fall and i found this brass piece, its pretty heavy. .Not sure what it is, anybody have a idea? Its solid on the bottom, thats what is throwing me off..
Thanks George

Vino - I don't believe this is related to a pipe tamper. It looks like some kind of finial to me, but I don't see any attachment point on the bottom. And it's probably too heavy to be a gaming piece. Sorry, but guess I can't really help much with its identity or age. Very interesting .....

Thanks for getting back to me Bill..
Lol, one of these days im going to find a pipe tamper..

maybe some sort of wax seal stamp? http://thumb101.shutterstock.com/di...stamp-polish-merchant-two-views-111673913.jpg

if you know what kind of area you found it, maybe that could give some clues
