Another oddball beach find.

[cudamark]

I know, it's totally worthless, but, it's something I'd still like to I.D. Copper or brass on the one end. Inside is hard to tell what metal it is. It's so encrusted I can't break that stuff off without destroying the item. I've been soaking it for days and picked at it with an ice pick to remove a lot of the crud. the knob sticking out has two square holes in it, so, probably something attached there at one time. The knob is bent at an angle too in relation to the round plate. Two screw go through the plate into the mess on the inside. Maybe an old door knob assembly? Fishing reel? I'll probably take a hammer to it soon to see if I can find out more info.

Your find is smiling at me :/

Um... its modern... due to the Phillips screws... perhaps an antenna mount ?

odd for sure.

I think it is part of a lock of some type.

Door knob assembly sounds (and looks) about right. ?

It does look like a drain plug is possible.

I did a quick search...

I was also thinking door knob because of the placement of the screw>
