🔎 UNIDENTIFIED What is it?

Found this at an 1830s homestead site, near the original driveway close to the stone barn. Original homesteader was a renown stonemason but moved away in 1863, so might not have been his. Item has brass decorative casing surrounding, what appears to be lead with metal rod inserted into it. It broke off something. Originally thought of tool handle or lever, possibly a carriage but couldn't find any matches.

First thought was a lipstick tube, then maybe a parasol tip.

Hi bottlecap4u
I believe it might be part of an Antique Musket "Ramrod Handle"/

Maybe a fireplace poker handle?
