Really small window weight?

[omegared31]

I found this tiny little lead piece and it kind of reminds me of a really small version of a window weight. And info would be helpful I looked up the marking on Google and I can't find a thing. Thanks in advance.

I thought maybe a clock weight but it looks a little too crude for that. Then I thought it may be plumbing related like part of a valve. Other than that I don't know.

Sure it is lead?

From a Float Ball Valve.

Looks like a broken off oar lock stem, is it brass?

The end of a wand for turning blinds or the end of a pointer like teachers used to use.This is a blind wand (modern)

It's either lead or cast.

It's either lead or cast.

Cast what? Smash it with a sledge, you will know if it is lead.

Make a scratch on it and tell us if shiny silver color or yellow like brass.

If it is something other then lead, it could be a bell clapper

The middle pic that I am looking at doesnt have any way to attach anything so it would seem to rule out some of the suggestions.


Can you read that logo? I cant see it.

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

I turned it around to try and read it. Does that say ac? Can you tell us what the numbers say please from left to right?



It looks as if some of the numbers are upside down? Is it 5140-17 ac?

 

[omegared31]

I'll look at it again in the morning when I get home from work and see if I cant get better pics of the numbers.

Looks like a plunger on an electric solenoid but if its not magnetic then it's not that
