Iron from a civil war battle area.

[Jason in TN]

This is a heavy Iron object from a area where there was a small civil war battle here in East Tennessee. Any Idea about what it may be.

I don't know what it is but it looks like it could use some serious electrolysis to give more details.

A Civil War Era Twinkie--notice that it is still edible!

Think it would be two heavy for a handle for a knife or sword. What is it I have no Idea yet.

Leg to an old cast iron stove/pot

Maybe do not see any where it would have been attached to stove. But that is a good guess.

Just another wild guess...not exactly this one but maybe like it ....http://decorativeobjects.oneofakind...tive_solid_brass_andirons_c1820_to_1840_2.htm

I was thinking, even though it's a little heavy, maybe just a step for a stage or wagon.
