I recently dug this ornate piece from a local park....a park with some age.....though have no idea what it might be. First impression out of the ground was a copper t-joint though during the clean up I noticed all the detail coming through. Also, inside the piping, what appeared to be mud was cork. So the piece was corked and appears to be constructed of brass/copper.

Does anyone have a clue what it might be?

This unique find is on this video or image below.

Being you said cork. I'd be leaning towards a Bottle Stopper.

Being ornate, I’d vote gas light fixture, why the cork is in there is anybody’s guess.

The ends are both open on top same as bottom. The top center also has a smaller opening.
