copper tube

[Moe (fl)]

Any ideas what this was used for?

Pour spout. Not sure for what, powder, sugar....

It looks like part of a copper Rocking Fountain, which stays in perpetual motion. People in our area use them to ward off deer in their flower gardens. They are generally made of copper or bamboo. Breezie

Something to do with apples?

Moe, I think it is the outlet tube (spout) from a still. That's my guess and I'm sticking to it.

Thank you all for the replies!

Yes, there is a pass through. The tube was found on the beach.

i know its not likely but...........sap spout for sugar maples?

home made self puncturing spout for oil cans?

 

[IronSpike]

Have you cleaned the piece or is that the condition of the copper as found?

Maybe a pitot tube or flowmeter from a boat.

It reminds me of a gas vent tube from a small engine.

Looks like a vent, venturi or fuel tube of some kind. Some of my antique engines have a fuel pickup tube somewhat like that. Others have a vent tube somewhat like that. It looks the most like the fuel tube in an old pressurized kerosene lantern. Was it found on the beach (night fishing)? Tony
