3 Mysteries

[MKW]

First... is what I think is a lipstick case, but I'm not sure because the inside of the flared end is threaded. I've never found one, so I don't know if they are threaded or not.




Next... is some sort of copper ball (hollow) that had the flat disk soldered to it at one time. They were in the same hole, but were broken apart when I found them. I have no clue what it is, or was.




And third...is some sort of brass ball valve. It is obviously part of something bigger, but I have no idea what it is. The little ball has a cross-shaped cut in it, so it's likely hollow.




Just looking for any ideas and yall seem to almost always identify random things. Thanks for looking.

Evan in CA is right on the first item. Model T (or early car) tire valve stem dust cover.

Could the ball be an ox knob? Gary

Or possibly the top of a horse hame.

I think the ball is the “check valve” from a water well. The last pick look like part of it to.
The sucker rod goes into well. On the end that valve pulls the water “up” with leathers and another screw on piece. than ball would drop and stop water from all running back down the well. The pull of the water up opened valve.
I will get some pics of my pile of that stuff.
