Lead what's-it????

I haven't the faintest idea what this is. It was found at one of my colonial sites close to the cellar hole (mid 1700's-early 1800's) and was around 4-5 inches deep. I have found some Victorian-turn of the century stuff across from the cellar hole cause it was used as some kind of dump. Any ideas???

Closest I can think of is a Whatchamajiggie maybe? :lol:

Obviously a doohickyflutenanny,,,, left handed of course. :grin: Seriously,, no clue,, but curious.
