🔎 UNIDENTIFIED It's brass.

It appears to be cast and this is half. It's hollow and about 1/8" thick. It was found near a 19th century home site.

It's about 4.5" in length. I'll get exact measurements soon.

Need something in the photo to compare the size.

Did they make decorative hame knobs?

Possibly a bed knob off of a brass bed.

Reminds me of a knob from the end of a fireplace tool, like a poker. More pics would help.

End of a curtain rod? Is the hole threaded?

After seeing the later pics, I cancel the fireplace tool knob idea. It is a lot larger than I thought from first pic

It’s a decorative piece for various objects, whatever it covers, like a frame or moulding.
