Description: | Copper alloy and wood ferrule. Cast cylindrical tube with an expanded end, retaining a flat-ended fragment of a wooden stick of diameter [now] 10mm, possibly from a whip stock. A drilled fixing hole of diameter 2mm appears close to the narrower end of the ferrule. The measurements may suggest the object was made using the metric system, which may suggest a date after 1800, and, in an English context, after the Napoleonic Wars. The preservation of wood may owe something to its copper alloy sheathing, as well as implying a recent date. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1830-1900.Length: 25.3mm, Diameter: 14.4mm, Thickness: 2mm, Weight: 7.70gms.
