Heavy for its size, holes are threaded. I think its solid brass or copper. holes do not meet into the center of ball, any clue? Thanks!

Looks like an end for a vise handle.

Not the exact same as this but it had a brass ring for a handle and a bolt in the back. A cupboard door or drawer handle without the ring attached. One this size that I have doesn't have a backing plate like the smaller one pictured here. This pic was posted in another what's it topic

Just a swag mind you, but I was wondering if it could be off an old side mount radio car antenna.

Knob off the head/foot board corner post of brass bed?
