Are there no markings...Patent no. etc.??? Looks like it was turned on a lathe. Needs a reference for approx. size, length, dia., etc. Given that it is tapered makes me think it was used for "shaping or sizing" whatever it was inserted into. SWAG = used in glass making process. ???????????

object ts 4.5 inches long. not turned on a lathe, has a cast seam full length. tapered end [see third image] is hollow and thin walled. no strength for being a handle
near tip and 2/3 way up taper is a raised ring like an o ring to seal off liquid. upper 2/3 is solid. putting it in a rock tumbler with jewelers rouge to remove patina and hopefully reveal numbers or patent marks.
could it be the end fennel for a flag or standard pole? was found near old ft mass. and ft garland co.
