What is this metal object?

NOT the key.......wiseguys.

Seems to be cast steel, weighty. Just found on the warehouse floor here in central Florida. All searches come up with items that are close, but not close enough. No threading inside. No packaging found.

English is not my first language and now that I think of it I don’t even know the term in my mother tongue either, but it looks like the piece that goes at the end of the curtain bars, like a stop to prevent the curtains from falling off the side

I thought of something along those lines, too, initially, but I went with a shower rod.

Ruled that out as well since it is heavy steel. Can't really envision a curtain rod or shower rod being made with such heavy metal.

I’ve seen those in heavy metal in old houses (I don’t live in the us)
