Another "what is it " from today.

Found at cellar hole in central MA.,shown on mid to late 1800s maps.Was evidence of modern junk around,so might not be old.I havent a clue,buddy thought maybe went on hose of some type.Hole goes through male end but other has a nub that looks like flare end of male piece fits against when screwed in.

It cleans out the ears from wax? Or maybe a valve stem off an early tire?

Weird, the one end looks like an anchor for concrete.

RUBBER HOSE TO ONE END AND COUPLING TO THE OTHER MAYBE FOR A VEHICLE BRAKE OR FUEL LINE. ZUTPHEN

A bleeder valve comes to mind.

How about the center grinding piece for a pepper grinder??

Looks to me like a bulkhead connector with a knurled hose barb.

Is it hollow? Maybe an early grease fitting?

The male piece has hole straight through,noticed I can blow through other piece but if I thread male all the way in its hard for air to go through and as its slowly backed out the more air can go through..must have been for a sprayer of some type...maybe was o-ring on it and there is a set screw as to hold male piece solid..

worldtalker is right on. It seems to be a bleeder valve.

Possibly from a cast iron radator heating system.

by the looks of this



I would say this end definitely was to be inserted in a Rubber Hose or sleeve.

it does not appear it would work well in metal
