It does look a bit small for a coat hook.

I'm out on a 150acre farm field at union camp. No houses have been established here.

Hmmm, maybe something on a wagon to secure the reins of the team? That screw looks like it went into a solid chunk of wood.

I was also thinking a reins guide but to big.

I was thinking where you might wrap the reins after you stopped the team.

Keep in mind that it is brass and with brass threads, so it would not be used for high tensile work. There is also a contour at the thread area where it would adjoin a round, possibly rod, which would also be made of brass or wood. I think a coat or hat hook would be a likely guess, officers early in the war brought all kind of tent furniture.
