I think, maybe, I've identified a unknown type relic I have

[dognose]

In May 2019 I posted about a relic I had then recently obtained at a farm estate sale of Robert Harrison of West Liberty, Champaign County Ohio.
Here is that post URL

At that sale, there were 2 large axes, a broken spud and a few other nice relics. My buddy obtained the undamaged large axe, and I obtained what I thought then was a broken axe, which I later identified as an axe in the process of being re-sharpened. Here is that post URL:

Here is the 2019 photo of both axes at the estate sale.

The unknown relic I now think is a Vasiform Pipe Preform. I think this due to a relic which is in a Bennett sale today - 08/23/2026. Here is that lot URL:

I obtained the broken spud which I later had repaired by Scott StoneKing in July 2019. The spud, when joined, is approx. 15 inches long.
Here is that spud broken and repaired.

Finally I think I know what that relic actually is. Not some sort of plummet, but a a Vasiform Pipe Preform.

Nice spud! A very rare artifact. I found the broken end of a spud at the local river yrs ago. I’ve gone back there many times looking for the big end. No luck!
