Description: | Sheet copper alloy ferrule tapering to a point, with two machined transverse parallel lines near the aperture, and a central seam running longitudinally down from aperture to just above the point, where the two edges of the sheet meet. The point has been reinforced by soldering on a thicker circular section, so that it could protect the wooden shaft inside it from direct pressure. There are two small pin holes on opposite sides of the open end of the ferrule, just above the incised lines, which would have been used to fix the ferrule in place by pinning it to its wooden handle. It was probably made for an umbrella, and its style and manufacture look relatively modern.
