An odd little piece

[Silvermonkey]

Found this while hunting in the woods on Sunday. It looks like a tiny pair of binoculars... but that ain't it!

It measures 1'' x 1.5 '' and appears to be made of brass. The larger openings are threaded.

This one has me puzzled. Any guesses are welcome.





Thanks for looking and HH!

Curious. The two sections give it an asymmetrical form. With one having a single hole and the other a pair of holes, they look like a miniature salt and pepper set. Bracelet/necklace/key-ring charm perhaps... although I don't know why they would be threaded.

How fascinating, I too would never have guessed that. Anytime I think I'm smarter than the average bear, all I have to do is look at the What Is It forum to discover otherwise.

Nice ID ticndig. So...I guess one would decide which nozzle to use for the job and change on site.

yes you have straight stream and wide stream . we often put our thumb over the tip to create a fan pattern that really knocked down the fire.
The Indian tank held five gallons and was a real pain in the butt to carry through the woods on a hot summer day while dressed in fire turnout gear.
