Maybe part of a old light? :dontknow:
 

Found this too and can't figure out what it is. I think it is a hood ornament or maybe a kids bike pedal.



 

One thing it's lacking that all other insulators I've ever seen is threads on the interior. I don't know maybe it is. Is it glass? It looks like it has a hole where a rod part might go through with a threaded end for attaching to another part. (Like a lamp part?). Only a guess,
 

Like i said. I don't know. Maybe it is. Hopefully you have something great man. Something to make those mosquito bites worth it!
 

I wonder if the pedal thing could be a dasher from a glass churn or something?...d2
 

Judging by the top of the glass piece, its rounded out to where it looks like a rounded screw head would have sat flush. Whatever it is, i'd say its missing the other half. I'd call this the "male" half that would have seated into the other section, maybe to stop it from turning. I've seen one of these before, i just dont remember what it is..

Exactly where I'm at with that thing. I too have seen them before and i just can't place where.
 

I didn't know that's what they were called ("dashers"), but I had the same thought.
That object looks like it could be the "paddle" part of a mixer of some sort..
 

Other item looks like a agitator for a dairy milk parlor separator tank...or maybe an ice cream paddle...
