Please take a look at the sinker in photo number 187 on the site below:

I was hoping someone here could verify what type of fishing it might be
used for.

Rob,

The sinker looks like an old style in-line sinker. This type is the
precursor to the rubber core sinker. You simply wrap the line through the
metal coil at one end, the line then follows the spiral down to the other
end. You again spin the line through the coil and you have a non-slip
sinker that goes anywhere on the line.
