It’s heavy, rang up closer to silver. Turned greenish when I started cleaning it up a bit

Hard to tell from the photos but it looks kind of like an old soldering iron tip. is it kind of wedge shaped at the tip?

Yes it is, after some research and a co worker I think it’s part of a window weight

I think you’re right, it’s part of a blacksmith tool .

Interesting. I’m not familiar with that style weight. All of mine were the 12 to 20 inch iron jobs cinched with cotton or fiber rope. How old would this little weight be? I’d guess it preceded mine by quite a few years. Most of mine came from homes built in early 1900’s. Thanks

Now I think it’s the tip of a soldering iron

Green means copper, right?

Copper definitely gets a green patina, but so do a few other things. Depending on conditions, time, items in contact, etc.

Nathan nailed it. I remember those from freshman shop class.
