Iron rod with Copper or brass spike head. Any idea? DSC_0287.JPGDSC_0286.JPG
 

Hum, :icon_scratch: a finial of an iron gate maybe. Having a brass point leaves me uncertain though.

I've never seen a flared soldering iron before. Maybe it had a special use? Anyone have an idea?

Ditto. Looks too ornamental to me for a soldering iron, in addition to the rest of it being proportionately too large for a handle. I'd be inclined to go with the fence theory.
