A mold (Brit. mould) used in the food industry? To form depressions in Jello, then filled with chocolate and fruit? The tapered handle with grab rings leads me away from a finial, the copper/brass reminds me of chocolate industry tools and vessels.

Pudding tamper. Used to insure tapioca pudding is well packed into the wooden kegs it's shipped in.

That's my guess. The flange on the bottom tells me it fits into a flat surface.

Why is there a sticker remnant on the handle part?

a Finial master.

this was pressed in to a medium to ,make mold, that other stuff, ( plaster, concrete, some kind of mud)
would be poured in to to make fancy schmancy finials for walls or exterior brick buildings.

Either it was found with the sticker on it or the finder marked it for future reference. You see, when someone gives you permission to search their property the found items are technically theirs. It's an unwritten rule but many metal detector guys will keep books of found items for people to claim.
