Flag pole topper
That could be but the bottom of the piece looks like its to be fitted into something I don't c why a flag would need that.
This is a topper that fits into a an aluminum flag pole like the ones people hang outside their homes. The string goes thru the hole at the base. I have at least six of these. The cheapo ones are made of plastic. You have a metal one, probably brass.
Look up "flag pole kits" on amazon - you will see them
Thanks Tony i will check it out...bummer
Not really a bummer - I don't think anyone makes them in metal anymore. They are all plastic cheapo china-made now.
