Re: Can anbody tell me what this is?
Hmm.. seems a bit small for that .. almost seems like a handle to a stamp or something, yet I am puzzled by its taper, and the tapered surface seems to be much more "abused" than the actual grip part. After a bit more cleaning, I discovered it has a mark of some sort on it.

Shot in the dark here, but it looks like it could be a stopper to a liqour or wine decanter.

Re: Can anbody tell me what this is?
I just received an email suggesting that it is a 1700's horsehair shaving brush handle. That would fit the design of it, and possibly explain the gunk in the center. Now, all I have to do is search the web to see if I can find one similar.

With the looks of that stamp I would guess more like early 1900's

Thanks the update creskol
Now go trap a badger
Guess you don't just trap a badger even if you wanted to restore a shaving brush
Understand in the old days hunters filled their boots with charcoal for protection against potential bites while badger hunting.

Re: Can anbody tell me what this is?__New Information & Solved
You can purchase badger bristles set in epoxy to make shaving brushes. People turn fancy wood handles and set the bristles in them and sell them along with wood pens and wood wine bottle stoppers. I forget who sells the ready to go bristles but if you do a web search you likely can turn up a seller. They come in different diameters and you should be able to find one that will fit your handle. Then all you need is some two part epoxy adhesive and you got it restored.
