✅ SOLVED Something from a boat? Found at the beach.

[CrackerJackSon]

Hi all-

I found the pictured object at a bay beach on Long Island. It reminds me of a screw anchor that would get nailed into a wall and then firmly grip the screw as it is nailed in, only on a larger scale. The opening is about 3/4 inch narrowing down to less than half an inch at the bottom. I got the sense that this might nail into wood and secure something on a boat, but I'm just guessing, as I'm not that familiar with boats. Any help identifying this would be appreciated.

Looks a bit like those little things that hold flowers, but I see no hole for a pin or other attachment. Forget their name. What does the inside look like?

Are you thinking of a Tussy Mussy.....?

Thank you for your thoughts on this. Unfortunately, the inside does not seem to have any more clues or noteworthy features. I thought at first there might be threading, but after doing some more cleaning it seems to be a smooth surface, hollow all the way through to the tip.

It looks like a flute off an Epergne
This just an example of what it possibly would of looked like.
