Does this look familiar to anyone?

Found this in the backyard buried about 6" down. Used quarter for scale. All I can make out is an engraved "1920" & "USA".

Looks to be made of brass. Can we see the other end, the top. So far im leaning towards a hose bibb. The top piece should rotate at the engraved grip.

 

[dfallis1]

Hmm, maybe not. Its kinda small for that to work.

Does the small end look like it could have had an eye piece? It looks somewhat like a hand level, used by surveyors or contractors. Good luck.

My first thought was a powder measure for black powder rifle, but I'm sure it's the razor handle posted.

Congrats and welcome jhnjr!

I'll go with the Razor but I think too small for a lock level!

Best wishes and good luck!
