✅ SOLVED Found at old farm Part 2

[bigfish313]

I posted some of these items in another post here.
This post is about the upper right item.
The side with the hole is slightly flattened on the end.
Any idea what it is?
It had wood inside which I cleaned out. I wish I hadn't now.

Thanks for looking.

A cane tip?

Staff cap.
Flag pole topper.
livestock tree cap.

Whichever it is... this is a "finish" piece.
Protective cover for the end of a pole of some sort.

Awesome! Any way to date something like that?

Used on farms when they had horses instead of tractors. You can do the math to figure out a date.

This place still uses horses. I thought there might be a chart somewhere with dates.

Is the far end solid or open?

Solid.

Here is a picture of them on the end of some horse carriage equipment.They are still in use up to modern times as far as figuring when they first started using them I don't think you would ever find record of exact date.
