Looks to be a RR tie marking tack. https://www.ebay.com/i/122931942270...MIk-rQkqeS5AIVFFqGCh0bpAQPEAQYAiABEgJfcvD_BwE

Yep! Railroad tie (or telephone pole) date nail. We used to walk around pulling these and sometimes the heads would break off just like that, though that shank is kinda thin. 1920 that's a rather old one. They did make similar nails to mark storm windows, too.
