We dug this in TN. Along with the other Pistol mold etc.. parts. We are curious as to what this could be. Can anyone help with this ID? Thanks! HHHH

Spike, I remember having a three note hand held fog horn that was channeled into a cup like your car horn. Don't know if they made two note ones or not . Mine was hand held, plated brass, and used probably on a boat. (It had a little chain soldered onto it and you'd blow through it) . Dang it, I gave it away... back in the days when if anybody liked something I had I'd give it away!

Dang johnnyi, you gave away the piece that could have ID'ed this item

I think this one will be solved. As tradeoftreasures points out the item seems so familiar yet hard to pinpoint. I think all the qualified guesses illustrates it well.

It's a cool 'whatisit' you found Mike

Tent pole fitting?

 

[traderoftreasures]

could have been from a early two part glue system

 

[allen]

totally stumped on this one.

Maybe the circled part on a feather duster or something similar to it.

How about an old cover piece to bicycle forks where it mounts to the neck of the frame......just a guess..

Fitting for a small pipe muffler?

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Was it found near the RR tracks? Could it be part of a two toned train whistle? http://acmewhistles-usa.com/acmetrainwhistle.htm

 

[hunterken]

Maybe part of a R.R. track broom.

How about a mouth piece from a double pipe whistle (c. 1880's)

I think you got it DCMatt.

I like the whistle mouthpiece idea, BCH was the first to suggest it.

 

[IronSpike]

The whistle horn was already suggested, however DCMatt found the exact match Funny how many qualified queses on this Whatisit. Cool piece

BCH did get the direction back on track. Good team work.
