Cool find.. It's from an early carburetor. Probably hit & miss etc. They were made in many different styles. I have a lot of them!

Model T Ford fuel adjusting screw. A forked rod was put into the 2 holes so the fuel mix could be adjusted from inside the vehicle.

desertexplorer, thank you so much! That kind of detail will help bring the screw to life for museum patrons looking at it in the educational display case I'm donating. My motto is "Every artifact has a story, if we're willing to listen".
