this is the most obtuse list you've ever had on here. College educated; wide-ranging general knowledge; and I still don't understand what many of them are, or what they do. Do you actually read the things you post?
This 2-foot-long wooden stick with metal on one end:
"It appears to be part of a sewer-cleaning apparatus. This patent by one William H. Stewart shows what appears to be your object. That patent is for 'sectional rods specially adapted for sewer cleaning purposes' — this is one end of a rod that would hook onto the corresponding end of the next sectional rod.
Armed with this information, we find that there was a W. H. Stewart in Syracuse that made sewer cleaners. And suddenly, the hard-to-make-out text on OP's object becomes much clearer: it's '...CUSE, N.Y.,' as in 'SYRACUSE, N.Y.'
So I feel pretty confident your object is part of a sewer cleaner."
