Newbie here. What in the wide world of sports is this?

I found this at a church dating back to the 1700. I have no clue to what it is or to what it goes to?

Could you maybe take a pic with a little light (not a flash) so we can actually see what it looks like.

Here's another shot at the object.

Looks like either a clock pendulum weight or a scale weight.
Good Luck & HH

Is that an eye that something hooks through? ? It looks brass. Maybe a counterweight that hangs on a swing arm as in a pendulum type clock. Yep, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. lol

Thank you guys and or gals. My first thought was a counter weight to some sort of clock. It is heavy for such a little thing of majig. Thanks for the welcome. I love this hobby and I'm hooked big time.

I haven't the foggiest idea what it is. Dunno

Congrats and welcome to the hobby. I have no idea but the weight sounds good and with that suggestion it does appear to be along those lines.

IT seems very likely, but I have to say, its a first for me.

Good luck with the addiction.
