Hello all I was wondering if someone could ID this. I found it at a 19th century cellar hole. I was thinking maybe
a spool? Snapshot_20170509_2.JPGSnapshot_20170509_3.JPGSnapshot_20170509_4.JPGSnapshot_20170509_5.JPG
 

I am going to go with a single candle candle mold, too, similar to this one

I was thinking a flag finial myself but the candle mold makes sense. Thank you all for the replies

It's part of a tussy-mussy or posy holder. Popular at the turn of the 20th C but still used today.

Possibly a keepsake from someone's wedding long ago.

Does it have a hole in the tip, if so it might have been a bottle spout.

Flower Vase Pocket Sconce... from a grave perhaps.

My "guess" anyway.

I am off the clock. "P
