Vintage Game Piece?
I found this in an old park. It looks like an old game piece to me. It has a 7 embossed on it. It is 1” tall and 5/8” at the base. It is a grey metal, not lead and not magnetic. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

In the picture it looks as if the bottom of this piece was "riveted" to something. Could it be the old remains of leather sandwiched in between? (arrow) finial rivet.webp
Do some finials have numbers on them?

I don't think it was riveted. It has a small cast seam running across the bottom. There are no remains of leather.

Guessing the number "7" is there for a purpose rather than purely decorative. Guessing that size or weight is significant in ID-ing this object. Could the "7" actually be the letter "L"?

They wouldnt use a trailer size piece for a hip replacement the bones arrent that big esspecialy in animal.
but i think the ball joint or snap may be it.

I think I may just have the answer for you!!

On truck caps and other such contraptions where those lift gate pistons are used, they fit over a small ball stud that looks exactly like that. Maybe it broke off of a contraption like that.

Good luck!
