I need help on this one

[BuckleBoy]

I think I know what this is, but I figured I should throw my hat in the ring here first.


The item appears to be made of lead. It has a hole that goes all the way through it from the side, and the flat end also has a hole that goes part of the way into the piece.


Regards,

Looks like a soldering iron tip.

Possibly some type of a cotter pin missing the snap ring collar? Farm or field find?

a soldering iron tip looks right also.

It's not a soldering iron tip if it's Lead

It is a house site find.


And it is lead--so I would imagine it would melt if heated.

Will,
It has the look of a home made plumb bob,
as Brandon suggested.

lead? makes me think it is a curtain weight sewn into the bottom edge to pull the curtain taught.

Curtain weights are from the size of a nickel to a dollar,
they are round and flat with slots so they can be sewn through like buttons.
