Cool spike.
Clean it up and give us a few more close up Pics

I believe most CW era tent stakes were made of wood.

That said, you could have a picket pin.

Post some better pics of the 'top'.

I'm thinking this is wagon related hardware, possibly a pin to hold the side or back in place
Of course I'm not a CW guy, I'll leave that up to the experts here... like TheCannonballGuy.
