Help! :-)

Found this in Saluda,Va at a buddies house that dates back to the mid 1800's. However the surrounding land dates back to the 1700's. Any idea what this might be from. I am beyond baffled. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It measures around an inch and a half long.

What is a single tree shaft tip?

My guess (and it is a guess) would be that it is part of a sword pommel.

Here is a pic of the other side. It is con caved like it could have possibly been hollow.

The images are still being imported from the old forum. Should show up eventually, unless they run into a glitch.

Quite right. The attachments (pics) are taking much longer than we anticipated, and will begin to show up as the conversion progresses. Please bear with us while we complete the process and tweak things in response to your questions and requests.
