Threaded brass relic.....Any ideas?

[tokens70]

Found this brass piece in an area with a lot of colonial activity. It almost reminds me of the top jaw screw to a flintlock rifle, but seems too thin Also has a little post running through the hole in the ball end, and werent the flintlock screws normally iron anyway?
