I know nothing about these things, but the first thought that came into my head was bottle stopper? Either used as it is, to stop insects from entering, or maybe even more functional if little holed discs of leather were passed over the lump at the end to form a cylindrical tube of leather, much like you'd thread on a tap washer?
