Star or starlike design

[jhamner]

Does anyone have any idea what this object might be? It looks like some sort of knob or handle, the starlike top (brass) being about the size of a quarter. The design looks like a 5 pointed star with rays going out from it. Any possible connection with Texas or other Southern troops? (Just hoping!) Thanks!

What does the bottom look like?

Looks like a starfish to me. If the other end is threaded, I'd say it's a drawer knob.
