✅ SOLVED Brass mystery item

[DigIron2]

I really don't know how to explain it except it is brass,solid on both ends,and it kind of looks like a keyhole going through it?

 

[TommyB]

Maybe part of a door lock? Deadbolt?

 

[reale bill]

stem for a valve

Barrel tap ?

Correct! Give the man a See-gar.

How would it work, it isn't hollow.

How would it work, it isn't hollow.

Your piece would of had a handle to turn this to allow liquid to flow thru the hole.
then would be turned again to shut off. Hope that makes sense.
