Not sure what I'm looking at. The typical definition of 'ferrule' doesn't match up to what I'm seeing.
Can you expound a little?
 
Maybe Finial a better description....or a streamer top? I'm not sure exactly what it is...

Whiffletrees were used to distribute the force with horse/ox team linkages. There were a bunch of different styles depending on the specific setup too.
