✅ SOLVED Another Brass Ball What Is It

[NorILdigcollector]

I found this brass ball today at a farm site that has been plowed over for at least 140 years. It is heavy and thick and has two different size threaded holes at each end. It also has a small hole in one of the sides.

It could be the center of a early brass or copper ball valve.

I thought about that but it only has one small hole on the side.
