Looks like an old vintage umbrella tip with the end tip broken off
 

Looks like part of an old light bulb socket.
 

I have seen some old fancy powder horns that had spouts made of metal. Just a thought.
 

Diamond tipped hole saw for cutting holes in ceramic or porcelain tile?
 

Top part of an old wisk broom?
 

Looks like part of an old lawn mower muffler to me.
 

I agree with the light bulb socket guess
 

I've never seen a light socket made of heavy cast brass, I'd say it was the cap piece from a flagstaff with the ornament broken off, short brass round headed nails went thru the holes into the wooden staff.
