Need help identifying this

[Glenn-RI]

I found this laying on the ground in a bottle dump site. It's about 6 inches long and on the end of what appears to be copper tubing. It looks like some sort of shut off valve. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Glenn

I think it might be part of an old gas stove or gas lamp .

A basically agree. I think its part of a gas light fixure that would have had a glass shade. My gramma has these throughout her house, built 1880. Here's one that sold on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Beautiful-Antiq...6262001132QQcategoryZ4058QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Hey Glenn, coincidentally my Gramma's house that I mentioned is in Cranston RI, where I just noticed you're from!
