I found this in the yard of a 1770's home. Seems to have been cylindrical and meant to top something like a flagstaff. tres39.webpAny ideas? Thanks

Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 
Maybe part of a gunpowder flask?
Interesting, wonder who last touched it.
 
I think it could be the end of a cane.
 
Didn't think of that and you may be on to something. The probable owner was a Revolutionary War vet who lived until 1816 and reportedly worked on his farm and went to church every Sunday until the day he died. Probably used a cane towards the end.
