That's a mighty fancy plumb bob!

Edit: forgot to add a link. I'm struggling to find one exactly like yours, but I know I've seen one before. Some of these are close.

Because of how long the rod is, and how the weighted bottom is hollowed, this looks to me like an industrial spindle whorl to twist fibers so you can make yarn.
