✅ SOLVED WHAT!?!?!

[GoingDown]

Found alongside a long dirt driveway/entrance on a large 1850's estate. Highly likely used as a carriage trail for years. The piece is definitely lead and heavy with a steel post. Any ideas

Reminds me of a clock pendulum.

Driveway reflector?

It looks like a driveway marker. The marble looking pieces are called cats eyes.
Here are examples of some signs.https://www.google.com/search?q=vin...jQIHVzQAUUQrnZ6BAgBEBM&biw=1366&bih=632&dpr=1

Charlie beat me to it.

How about a cats eye/marble reflector from the back of an old car or carriage? (the lead weightiness of it seems to steer me away from a driveway marker)

Providing the dimensions of your find may help us narrow down what this actually is?
I would say 1930s in date.

My thoughts are that we need to see the back, and know the actual length.

I think we've seen the back. It appears one side has the reflector and the other side doesn't. And based on the flower head being 3 1/2" I'd guess overall length to be a little over 12".

And I'm saying driveway reflector too. I'd be surprised if it was anything else.
