I’m stumped!

Any ideas? I found it around the same area where I dug a silver clasp and a few flat buttons.

I think it’s an umbrella slide, based on the groove that goes around the outside, which has a wire goes around it holding the ribs of the umbrella to it. Like here: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/321303-brass-parasol-slides-i-just-dont-see.html

Definitely an umbrella slide. I've found them before.
My guess, late 1800s-early 1900s but they can be hard to date.

Neat find I would of thought it was some kind of locking/castle nut. But it does look like an umbrella part from the image.
