Flagpole weights

A flag weight is used at the bottom of a flag arrangement to help keep the retainer down on the flag pole when experiencing high wind. Especially with lightweight and very large flags, the wind can pick up the flag, sliding the hardware up the flagpole. This creates wear on the flag pole and creates a situation where your flag and hardware can get tangled. This leads to a shortened lifespan for your flag but also doesn't look very nice.
