Horn-shaped brass object from colonial site

[Almy]

The pictured object it 1 7/8" long, large end diameter is 1 1/8" and small end diameter 5/8". There is a thickened lengthwise rib inside suggesting it was made by overlapping and fusing. Nothing is regular and it looks handmade. All artifacts I have found on this site are colonial era. Has anyone seen anything like it?

Thanks, Beth. My pictures were a bit too large! Have to figurer out how to correct that in future posts. Marco

Tip from a bellows?

As suggested, a photo of the other items I found is attached. It might not be obvious in the picture, but the walls of the object are quite thin (about 3/32") so would not likely hold the pressure needed for a firearm. I had not thought of bellows part, but that is a possibility. One I did think of is part of a powder horn but I cannot recall seeing one part brass.

Sorry, I made a mistake on the thickness. It is actually 1/16" or 1mm thick.
