✅ SOLVED WHAT!?!?!

[GoingDown]

Found alongside a long dirt driveway/entrance on a large 1850's estate. Highly likely used as a carriage trail for years. The piece is definitely lead and heavy with a steel post. Any ideas

Reminds me of a clock pendulum.

Driveway reflector?

It looks like a driveway marker. The marble looking pieces are called cats eyes.
Here are examples of some signs.https://www.google.com/search?q=vin...jQIHVzQAUUQrnZ6BAgBEBM&biw=1366&bih=632&dpr=1

Charlie beat me to it.

How about a cats eye/marble reflector from the back of an old car or carriage? (the lead weightiness of it seems to steer me away from a driveway marker)

Providing the dimensions of your find may help us narrow down what this actually is?
I would say 1930s in date.

My thoughts are that we need to see the back, and know the actual length.

My thoughts are that we need to see the back, and know the actual length.

I think we've seen the back. It appears one side has the reflector and the other side doesn't. And based on the flower head being 3 1/2" I'd guess overall length to be a little over 12".

And I'm saying driveway reflector too. I'd be surprised if it was anything else.
