Maybe it just the lead out of the back of a decorative rosette.

Could be pendulum weight lead insert.

Re: Is this a clock pendulum weight?

Creskal, it has a relief design on both front and back (not an insert) so it seems unlikely it would be a pendulem weight as a weight would have no need for a design on the back. Have you checked the edge for any trace of rust or green corrosion in one or two spots to suggest it might be a seal?

I think you're right johnnyi that it has relief both sides. Maybe a table clock that can be viewed from both sides

Re: Is this a clock pendulum weight?

I was going to say rosette also but looking at the design on the back, I think that is ruled out. It looks like the back was more corroded and that is why it looks like it could have been full of lead? I guess the composition of the metal is a pot metal or white metal. Most clock pieces I have found were made out of brass. I don't know.

Re: Is this a clock pendulum weight?

I dont know what it is. Here are some pewter pendulums to compare but they are different on the back where the rod attaches ...unless its one like IS posted.. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,266141.0.html

An identical item was identified as a pendulum weight in "Ask Mark Parker" not too long ago.

Found several similar clock weights or bobs online. Here's an example, with Creskol's (inverted above) on the right.
