Its a Brass Butt Cap used on flagstaffs. There's a pic of one in Crouch's Book on pg. 63. I've found quite a few of them over the years There are slight

variations to them depending on when and who made them but its a good solid pre-war/Civil War era relic

It went on the bottom of the wooden flagstaff pole and would protect it from being splintered and broken on the bottom end. A screw would go through the hole to fasten it tight.
