Not sure what it is. Any ID is appreciated....Thx, BWD

Oh yea, the center is loose, like separate from the rest....I thought maybe from an oil lamp, but was told otherwise.

I was going through my junk and this is the lantern or lamp part that reminded me of your what is it. I took the pics with my cell so please excuse the quility. I alse ran across found a silver chain, a 1899 IH penny, and a unmarked 1st Lieutenant silver bar, and a small fake bullet that unscrews.

Hope this brings some life back to this topic:

Well to keep it going it surely isn't a vehicle cooling system thermotat. Because you see the wax cylinder on the thermostats are marked with their temperaturee rating. For comparison these two thermostats (1995 Jeep and a 1992 GMC van) have the temperature rating clearly visible on the cylinder:

You are posting pictures of modern style thermostats. The old ones are not all marked. But I agree it certainly not a modern thermostat and may not be an old thermostat or part of one either. Its just a guess. Maybe try to find a better matching pic of an oil lamp because I just dont see it.

Just for fun:

WOW!! I am impressed with the responses to my whats it... Thanks Ant, BigCypress, and friends... I wish I had better pics. This permission is 20 miles north of me, and this 3 day weekend may find me back up there (in Punta Gorda), and perhaps I can wrangle up some better pics.. I know that my fellow will be impressed w/ the Tnet chatter over his find.. thanks again guys.

Nearly identical?If we narrow this down, we may both know what we got.

Thanks for posting more pics but I still dont see it. There are no collar threads to attach to the body, no way to attach a globe and no wick adjuster. There isnt even a center hole for the wick so I dont see how it can be an oil lamp burner.

I sure wish I knew what was inside.

Ok, this may be way off but the first thing I thought of was an old spinning top toy....
