Need help ID'ing a couple of brass items found at CW Union Encampment

Found this at a CW Union encampment site we have been working on. We have not pulled another one like it from this site. It's brass and appears to be period correct. Any ideas Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

cartridge box closure finial?

That's a finial, if I spelled it right. Probably off a cartridge box.

Jewelryguy you beat me by four and one half seconds.

That was our first thought but, it just varied quite a bit from all the others. My brother Novatreasure also found some additional ones. Here is a couple of the other ones next to it to show the difference between them and that one in question, I found in the same camp.

Hi there. Are you pretty sure that's brass, not lead? Cool find

LAGDI, the version of cartridge-box finial you found is from a British-made civil war era Enfield-type cartridge-box.
