✅ SOLVED Weird Brass Mechanism

[cambria09]

Hello. I found this mostly brass piece at a 1900's home site. It's about 3 x 3 inches. My son says old toilet valve.

Thanks for the view. C9

I agree with your son. What is the writing on the side?

agreed, here is one very similar but not same maker mark. Not too crappy.

Old toilet valve it is. The rusted iron piece went to the float.

Hello relic nut. It is hard to read but I cleaned it up some more and guessed it reads "INBRACO". Sure enough they are a maker of plumbing fixtures. The acronym stand for "Indiana Brass Co.", and it looks like they are still around. Thanks for the reply. C9
