What is it from old car?

I thought temperature sending units were round ...sort of like a big spark plug

Its a feed for some sort of flat wick, aleast 5 sprockets feed something through it by turning the knob that use to be on the end of the shaft (shut yo mouth) Shaft I believe it is open on the sides.

Thermocouple

Think appliance (refrigerator, freezer, oven)

Gears? can you or we see them?

Otherwise to me it looks like a 'Fuseable link'

Sure resembles a wick advance (the teeth idea anyway) for a lantern or something... but what kinda thing would use a wick like that?

I popped onto our friend Ebay and found a kerosene lamp called the Name Game Jr. made of cast iron with a wick about 4 inches wide. Must have used it as an auxiliary furnace when it got cold.
