Need help to ID..

Good morning, found this brass relic yesterday at a very old cellar hole site. The site dates back to early 1800's as per old maps and history of area. The cellar hole is a depression in ground, and has stones, fallen chimney stack, etc. I could not stay long to dig at site but I was lucky enough to find this brass ring, about 6 inches down. I think it may be a curtain rod bracket? If any of you know what it is, I would appreciate your help and thank you!

Yes, it is a rein guide

One thing to note, the better made they are the more recent in time they date from. The 18th century ones tend to be quite crude.

Thank you, yes I would agree.
