Valve stem cover.

End off a grease gun. End of the hose fitting on a hand pump grease gun, the part that fits on the zerk fitting when greasing machinery.

My guess... Air conditioning Freon hose screw on end.
Or...
End of an older style screw on air pump hose.

But am leaning more toward the first.
