It certainly looks like Split Shot, but since you say it is bronze, you can throw my idea out of the window. Breezie

I wa going to say it looks like a screw head which can be made of brass. What makes you so sure it is bronze?

 

[donniepaxton]

Definitely looks like a screw. If it still holds the material significance whatsoever!

Hi all , there is no grove in the top the bronze lip is raised and the bottom is flat . Made of bronze Seems to been cast as one piece .

Certainly could be a Opium weight...or a board game weight, the one below is a similar Opium Weight.

Could be for a type of fish net weight?
