Need help ID this brass item I found... tool maybe?

[Southern Brass]

I found this brass item on a site where there used to be an old farm house circa 1930's-1940's. The item is solid brass , 3 1/2 inches long , hollow on the inside but it still has the original wood that it was fasten to. Not sure if it was part of an old tool, mule collar or what . Any suggestions greatly appreciated
