Something silver

[sscindercoop]

I found this at an old school it weighs over 7 grams. There is no threading on the inside and there is initials on the the top I believe they are JWH. It has no other markings and acid tested as silver. At first sight I thought it was an inside door lock nob for an old car.

It's possibly the top to a late Victorian writing pencil

That would be my first thought as well. . . my second thought would be a monogramed cap to a music conductor's baton.

I believe you said it was not threaded......in that case its probably closer to this design and
manufacturer....
