Gun Part or shower faucet pull handle?

[BerntOut]

Dug this at a 1916-1917 US Training camp yesterday. Could it be a gun part as Infantry, Cavalry and Artillery (both heavy and light) trained at this camp. OR could it be a faucet pull handle....looks like a rope went through the one hole.
Decent artifacts are hard to come by where I hunted, I think it has been pounded!

ALSO, could this be a powder horn nipple? It seems to be out of place. I found it in the same area.

Re: Gun Part?

not sure about the first one, I'll look into it, the second piece looks like a nipple wrench for a percussion gun though.

In the first photo, dead center of the bottom arm, it looks like there is some lettering or a stamp of some sort. Am I seeing things?

pull from a steam whistle?

I think we have an ID! Anyone else can chime in if they have another idea. There is a RR track about 100 feet from where the handle came from.....good ID me thinks!

No its not a powder spout Bernt

Okay Kuger, what is it? Could it be a nipple tool or some other gun related thing?
Did you notice how I want something I find to be "gun" related!

 

[kuger]

I want it to be for you too....but it isnt.What it is I dont know?If its a nipple wrench,I have never seen one like it

Sorry, not a nipple wrench either. Nothing gun related at all. It is funny how it works, my brother is always finding gun parts while I find none when we are hunting together.
