Found this rather heavy ( 40.94 grams ; 3 " height) brass ( I think that 's the metal) item in low tide mud this afternoon.

There is a stone ( ? ruby) in the bottom of this item

Here's some pics..

Thank you for looking

Lorraine

Looks like a draft handle and the threads opposite of the stone where it threaded on has been broken off.


MXT Pro, 9.5" Stock, 5.3", Super 12", 10" D2, Sunray DX-1 pinpointer probe. North Central Missouri, USA.

On Antique Roadshow tonight a lady had a fancy, expensive, parasol handle.-however it had a similar profile, and a fancy stone in the end like this one- so I was just wondering if it could be a not so expensive version.CO

The beer tap handle was the first thing that came into my mind as well...both ends have been snapped off...the plastic or glass topper, and the threads...

HH,
