Nice pics and a pretty piece! I am going to go with my doorknob guess, thinking it may be from one along these lines.

Man, you are good! I think you are spot on. You can see where the hole was in the end and you can see where the flared end corroded off as well as the square rod protruding. By the way what's the story with the pic on your avatar? Is it something you found and is there a thread on it? Looks interesting...Rich.
