🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Brass piece

[ncsuwolf]

Any ideas on what this is? Found near Richmond va on a 1850-1980 homesite. It’s brass, ~4” long overall. The “head” of the item is roughly size of a quarter

My first thought was part of a hinge from a fireplace tong, but I can't find anything close.

Clean it up a bit more and we might have a better idea

Here you go…..

Any chance it’s a piece of a bathroom faucet handle?

Maybe a swivel arm lamp

That’s a start…..and for the record, you’re ahead of me as it does not look familiar to me

My level of deduction increases and decreases with Rum intake usually...
but in this case it is naturally occurring.

And whit that... i will say my first impression of your find was part of some sort of handle.
