Found in woods on both colonial and civil war site. There is a hole on each side. Thanks in advance.
 

Late 1800s twisted barbless wire, for animals like horses, where barbed wire can damage the hides.
Not with the small hole at each end. I’ve built a lot of fence. Never had a bucket of little short splices, just in case.

Don't see it working as a gun cleaning tool. No way to attach it to the rod.

Ruled out part of a friction primer, as it appears to be too long.

The gun cleaning tool idea, made me wonder if it could be a pipe cleaning tool. Whether professionally made or field made. Seeing some are found on battle sites, and lots of soldiers smoked pipes in that time period.
