[OldNBroken]

I see some letters stamped around the bottom. Can you make them out?

 

[traderoftreasures]

It looks like the cap to an air valve on a pneumatic tyre (tire).
Plenty have been found by other TNet members.

Valve cover as noted, perhaps not for a tire but some other type of shrader type valve.

(That blood-blister under your nail brings back memories of pinched fingers and teeny-tiny drill bits to relieve the pressure )

ya that blood blister... that was at the bottom. smashed er good.
as for valve stem, it would of had to of been a big tire.

Sorry, I'll retract the "tyre/tire valve" connection
That was my understanding from what I had read on TNet previously

Cheers, Mike

Don't be too anxious to discount the valve cover idea. That knurled area around the piece is the grip area for turning the cap on and off of another object. Why not a valve of some kind? The valves for relieving fuel pressure on our fuel injected engines in our cars, trucks, etc. are called "shrader valves"; as one example. That cover MIGHT be for a larger valve on a larger engine such as a industrial sized power plants.

I believe you are correct. Its old style Model T perhaps. Schrader valve cover from a tire. Yes, plenty have been found and posted.

Sure resembles any number of those on the bottom??

Apparently the old Model T Ford valve stems covers were much larger. I believe it is indeed from a tire.

I looked a bit online and couldnt find a pic because replacement tubes do not have large valve stems but it appears that the old original tire tubes did because there are many types and they are all large.

This is without any doubt an old tire valve stem dust cover. It should be threaded inside.
