Part from a candle stick??

[fwcrawford]

I found this piece a couple of weeks ago while searching around an old farm site.
I am thinking it is part of a candle stick.
It is about 2 inches long and roughly 3/4" on the open end.
It also looks to have a place where it may have been connected to something else as shown in the photo.
Any ideas or confirmation of my thoughts?
Thanks for looking,
Felix

Probably not part of a candle stick, maybe part of the candle stick holder. The candle stick would be wax. I am such a smart a**** I apologize-nice find--BAC

n/t

I would agree with Rusty, but it looks kinda of heavy duty for that.

I was thinking about that too, but like you stated, it is kind of heavy duty.
I have found some of those and they are very light and fragile.
I possibly may be one though...
Thanks for the responses!!
