maybe a clevis pin??

Looks like a filled hole at the end - its part of a furniture drawer pull arrangement.

If clevis pin would rounded head serve a function?

I don't believe that the head is spherical like the one you pictured, but rather an eye that has been filled with dirt and/or rust. Some of the early clevis pins used on horse drawn equipment often served two purposes. One was to secure whatever as being attached by the clevis. Secondly, the clevis pin often served as a wrench. I think this one is similar to No. 597 in the picture below. I have seen them with eyes on them though.

bell clapper?

Looks like a hinge pin either set in mortar or driven into timber.

I agree with "whynot" that it is a bell clapper. It seems to be iron which would eliminate any drawer pull fixture (as they are brass)

True if its all iron I recall my ID, but bell clangers don't have holes in the bulbus end like this one (as stated) it filled in with rust.

clevis pin or old tie rod end or....

Ah, yes Crusader, I had not looked carefully and had assumed the hole was in the small end. I see the shadow now and I retract bell clapper.

Bell clapper! heres a picture of the one i found... it was attached to the bell when i found it. But somehow it came loose..

 

[creskol]

I think it looks like this .. I don't think it is a bell clapper... I still think it is a clevis pin.
