Brass whatsIT

[Ed-NH]

I found these in the same place as all those civil war relics. They appear to be some sort of brass. Two of them have the same threads on them. I can screw on into the other. Not sure if they go together or not as I found them on seperate days. I realized that they may go together after finding them in my widgets jar today. I screwed two of them together to give you an idea of what they would look like attached. Any ideas? Lamp parts?

Gypsy, you might be onto something there. A spyglass.

Either garden hose fittings or a fitter possibly for a kerosene lamp....

Yeah, I agree. I'm leaning towards the lamp.

I thought lamp at first also...but then started to try and figure out what pieces fit where and couldnt come up with an answer...the one piece would work but not the second one....unless my lamps are different that what this one would be for .....

Thanks for all the ideas. It looks like either a lamp part of telescope part. Could be a telescope that was lost and the parts scattered around the area. They used telescopes during the Civil War so maybe that's it.
