Handle for an old style kitchen, or bathroom facet?

Re: whatsit

My first thought when I saw this was a striker for a torch.

Re: whatsit

I'm sure I can see a tiny projection of wire coming out of the top tube (in Pic 1)which enters the bowl - and I would guess that the other tube doesn't protrude into the bowl, so I'm guessing that the broken wire should be contacting the center 'post' and a bulb is screwed into the bowl.

Possibly for use in an old camera flash, like this one


Possibly, in a right-angled torch

Re: whatsit

Are the two tubes hollow?
It looks like a pipe stem.
