This finger-post retains its traditional Dorset finial, giving location and grid reference. The fingers themselves, though, are modern replacements - the lettering is adhesive whereas the originals would have been screwed on; the original fingers would probably also have been rounded rather than pointed. See Image for a close-up of the finial.
