Need some help with this one. I found this within about 20' of Civil War bullets, buttons, a Union US buckle. Can anyone tell me what this may be?

It fits my ring finger perfectly which is a size 12. Confused as to why the odd shape and if it really is a ring.

Part of a candle stick…
My buddy found one exactly like it around an old house site..
Neat find!!!

Awesome ! Thank you! It was driving me crazy trying to figure out why a ring would be shaped like that .

A chamberstick candle holder. If it was found in the area of Civil War action,I can imagine a soldier huddled around the candle light writing a letter to send back home. Nice find!

Here is the one my buddy found a few years ago and also shown is how it was held.
