Nice finds. Looks like the end of a flag pole eagle

Awesome finds! Was also thinking the eagle might be for a flag pole.

TECHNICALLY... it's a lead lid to a jelly or canning jar that saw use during the war as a lid to gunpowder cans. Would be hard to tell what use yours had. Google it and you will find an interesting advertisement for it in the 1855 New York newspaper.
