We found this elegant looking item in the barn. It has a hole in the base like it was attached to something. We're not sure what it is so I was hoping the antique folks here could help us identify it.
Thanks :)

Once again, the dimensions would help...but it might be the "Cast Iron Finial" for a parlor stove?
There were any number of different designs used.

See if the hole is threaded !! I think Rauville is correct !! I have seen many different versions of these for parlor stoves !!

Ditto!!!

Rauville, thanks for the info. Next time I'll remember the measurements.

Now I was thinking that most all early manufactured items containing parts made of cast iron were assembled together via use of a slotted-head bolt, a square nut and a washer.
AKA: the stovebolt
Many to most cast iron stoves were shipped to customers un-assembled and thus only a screwdriver and/or an adjustable wrench was needed for assembly.

There's no thread. There's just a hole in the bottom and it looks like it was busted off something.
