Posting for a friend, so I may be slow answering any questions but I'm also very curious for an ID on this thing. Came from a homesite dating to at least the 1870s and more likely, the 1860s
She says, "I found this on a farmstead dating back to the late 1800s. Appears to be hollow fluted brass or copper, with a cork insert. The back is the same as the front. No markings. Any thoughts?"
She added that "The diameter is too small to be a broom handle. I was wondering whether it was a parasol handle, but that wouldn't explain the cork."
