Some Kind Of Spindle

[Natman]

Hi all,

I found this today in a private yard..it's 3 inches long, made of copper or brass and is solid except for 1/2 inch (threaded hole). I really don't know what it is..maybe part of an old tool or from an old lathe?

Any help appreciated.

I agree with Jeff. That was my first thought before I read his reply.

I think you may have a finial for a lamp.













Sorry,I couldn't resist!

You know, it looked familiar but I've never seen one that long..then again some old lamps are kinda odd looking anyway..

Thanks for the help!

How about the handle of a fireplace tool.









Maybe it's the pendant pull to an overhead flush john.
