    But the pointed end would not make sense for pulling...
    I'm glad I don't have to go as far as Tamworth to see a Dentist.

    Not a chance. I have nothing. But I saw one of these in the incredible collection my extremely eccentric uncle had in his fire trap of a house. The central pin had to pierce the tin.

    There's a Youtube short film called "The dentist of Jaipur". Can attest that it's not that bad this side of the range.

    Although when I went to Jaipur, it was a bit of a culture shock...

    The item does look like an early electrical contrivance.
    I was going to suggest it's a battery, but wood is not very good at holding electrolyte... and the early galvanic cells were all made of glass- zinc/copper IIRC.
