Civil War camp, but what the heck IS this??

[parsonwalker]

I feel like I've seen this before, but can't place it and it's driving me crazy. Was hunting a camp, but it's also been a working farm for many years, so I'm thinking a piece of machinery I've seen and just can't recall? Looks so familiar, it's keeping me up, and I need to sleep!

The ramrod holder for a musket?

Part of a small weight scale?

It could be a thread guide from an early 20th C sewing machine.

I'm thinking ramrod holder, it be nice if you could do a little electrolosis on it and repost the pic

While it may be a bit of a mystery what this particular rusty item was originally utilized for, there is NO mystery in what it is not, and that being any type of ramrod guide from a rifle or musket.

This is with certainty not even close to any such item as a ramrod guide.

CC Hunter, you tell 'em! Doesn't even remotely look like the pipes for a ramrod!
