Found this today,the thicker end looks like brass and is non-magnetic.The long skinny rod like end is all corroded over and is magnetic.

Fireplace Poker is the first thing that comes to mind.

Looks like the top finial to an old brass lamp.

 

[lairmo]

size might help...for now looks like a lamp top keeper

I agree if the brass part is only 1" or 2 long then that would be a very small fireplace poker.

its a finial but for one that has a down ward hanging shade, because its tassels! tassels don't hang upward lol

Quicksilver nailed it before I had the chance.
I think this was part of a lamp or chandelier.

The brass part end is about 4" long and the long rod end 8" long,
The top end of a lamp would make sense as a decorative piece.I first thought a ice pick for a bucket of ice sitting at the bar?

Yup, finial for hanging light. We had repros of this in cast brass in our shop (victorian lighting store and manufacture)

It's a nice cast finial. You can make what ever you want out of it, even a nice ice pick! lol
