Can you help?

First post so be kind!

I've been doing some gardening and found this.. What is it? . The item feels heavy and has two screws in the back. The material could possibly be brass?

We live in Kent, UK.

Thanks in advance!

 

Ben,

Your picture is not showing up

 

Hi Ben, Welcome to the board.
You need to make your photo a bit smaller. It is not showing up.

Hi there.

Where shall I upload the image to to get the url link? I tried IMGUR but obviously that's too big. Is there any way to attach the image without uploading a link?

 

Below the reply box is a button "Upload a File"

Click on that and go from there

 

Ahh! Thanks for your help..

 

Hi Ben,
Sorry to be such a pain, we would like to see the back of the item also. It might be a help to it's identity. Thanks,
greg

 

Looks like an old brass pull for a curtain cord....if I worded that correctly??? But I can't see the very top either....to see if cord would fit/go in the top either.........OH, and WELCOME Ben....you should enjoy it here....lots of information to exchange !!!

 

Don't know what it is, but I like the design. And welcome, Ben!

 

Welcome!

 

Sometimes more IS less.

 

Is it broken off on the one end? Also, want to see the back.

 

Hi and welcome! I think Brad's right it might help to see the back. It looks like an embellishment that you might find on furniture, fireplace screens etc. Any maker's marks?

 

Hola, and welcome!
Has your gardening location always been a residential area, as far as you know? Or...?

 

looks like a broken off finial for a gate or fence

 

Yup...time to see the reverse side !

 

Thank you for your kind welcomes.

Im not sure if the area has always been residential. Up until the 1920s it was all farmland round here. The houses date back to the 1930s.

Anyway I've attached an image of the back. Maybe the two screws give it away as to what it is.

 

I still think it is a vintage brass gate or fence finial

 

maybe
