🔎 UNIDENTIFIED This one has me stumped. Found in old homesite central Va., brass, about 10" long, marked "MADE FOR CRANE". Anyone have any ideas?

Reminds me of a pump handle

Looks like some kind of valve adjustment tool to me. There was a company called “Crane” (established in Chicago, 1855) who made and sold all kinds of hydrants, standpipes, valves and such related to plumbing, water supply, fire-control and industrial use through until at least the 1960s.

I think it's a specialized plumbing wrench of some sort.

That sure looks like it but we are talking one heavy duty flusher with his.

Is it bigger than a breadbox?

Lever for a pop off (pressure relief) valve. Could have been for air pressure or steam? Being brass I would guess steam.

It was pretty definitively ID'ed a couple posts above. Toilet flusher bar.....Definitely not going into the display case.
