Found this at a civil war era house site, anybody know what it is? Its very heavy brass or bronze and may have had gold gilt on it I am going to clean up more. Looks like Lady Liberty with stars around her. I thought it was an old bike bell but i think its to heavy to have made any sound. Looks like it was screwed on to something.

Its not a button. its about the size of a door knob but is very heavy. I dont think it could ring any sound as solid as it is but who knows. I though maybe a cook stove nob?
I have looked and looked online and have no clue. Reid
Ok a new pic with a quarter for size, its to big to be a drawer pull.
Someone suggested a cain top, that might be an idea.
