G.k. on the knob. Lower shaft is treaded. It has two groves in the knob also. Only thing i could think of was tool for furniture.

To me it looks like the knob off an old lantern? To wind up the wick ?!

Could it be this ----

Lamp winders employ teeth/sprockets to engage wick.
Threaded may be a factor I've not noticed , but no threads needed for wick winding.
If knob /shaft was screwed into matching threads it could determine the depth that the pointed end blocked/restricted a venturi or orifice.

By no means am I stating this is what it is from,only noting how it may have been used.

Looks like a adjustable needle valve for an old carburetor

I see the threads as well now.
Needle valve.

It is a needle valve. It's a fuel needle from an old carb off a hit&miss engine, tractor. model T Zenith type carbuerator etc. The engine in my avatar has one. Tony
