Found this while hunting in the yard of a house from the 30's. Seems to be made of brass. It looks sort of familiar but I just can't figure out what it is.

Is the large end (towards the penny) drilled/threaded? Looks to be a finial off something, maybe a lamp?

What is it?

I'm thinking it attaches to house, car, keys.
