Heres one for you?

[Hill Billy]

Dug yesterday and haven't a clue?
Thought perhaps the top of a hames.

Hmmmm. Base of a flag pole? End of a heavy drapery rod? Finial of a coffin handle?

Looks like it was screwed onto a wood dowel end of some type.

Looks like it has the remains of old glue on the bottom rim. But I haven't a clue. Monty

Is that the dog house??At least she put the bed out there!!!

I have dug some brass bed finials, but all of mine are one piece on the top (no hole).

I also wondered if this was a saddle pommel. Anyone ever seen a saddle pommel that was similar?

No,I am sure it isnt a saddle horn(is that what you mean?)

 

[AU24K]

Maybe part of a lamp base?

Darn.


Kuger, I've seen a recent post or two in "What is it?" by you. I didn't respond because I didn't have any idea. You've been a great help in this section of the forum, and I wish I'd been able to ID one of those for you... But the thing is--when you post a Whatzit here, it's a damned difficult one.


Best Wishes,


Buckles

I've seen day bed knobs with holes in the top. But after looking again, this piece seems too heavy for a finial. Maybe it's part of a brass andiron?

that bed in the middle of the forest ..... with monkey toy .... fear, fear .. .

 

[Hill Billy]

After studying this piece I noticed another find from that days hunt that fit in the top. I tried to screw it in and it fit perfect. It is octogon in shape and appears to have been broken . Maybe this will help solve this what is it.
