It’s filled with wood. It’s also solid brass considering the weight

if it had a wooden handle, it might be a tool used to open and close the ventilation windows over the doors for the ceiling or attic fans, in the old houses with the 12ft+ ceilings.
it would have been on a long wooden handle, and hung somewhere out of the way until needed to open and close a door window.

From a buggy pole.

Still scratching my head

Well, it is technically is not from a "buggy pole"... which are the (two) very long wooden poles that go from the buggy forward alongside the horse, whose harness is attached to the poles. It is definitely a Whiffletree-tip, from the 1890s and on into the early 20th Century. A Whiffletree-tip exactly like yours is shown in a 1895 horse-&-wagon harness catalog. See the scan of it, below. Also, another scan showing it in a 1907 Sears catalog.

A Whiffletree is a thick wooden rod which is part of a wagon's "tree" that the horses' harness attaches to. See the photo below, showing a whiffletree-tip "in place" on the wagon tree's thick wooden (cross)bar.
