I have no idea ... Do you ?

[Mike in Berks]

Found in a stone farmhouse yard. Any ideas what it was attached to ?
One end is smooth Other end is threaded
one side looks smoothed down a little other side looks to be a short
line like it was machine made.

Looks mighty close, but the twist is reversed.

It's like a spiral from a level wind fishing reel...but it's tapered

Picture of a unicorn sculpture:

This kind would come close. The "horn" must be screwed into the forehead of the unicorn on this one.

It looks like an old drill bit?

Damn it, I had that thought last night before I went to sleep, I thought, I'll add that tomorrow. Great Minds This one is probably more likely, as they are more popular & have been around for a very long time (including on our Coat Of Arms)

i agree with you CRUSADER Great minds here for sure
i know you people are trying hard to help me on this what's it
i did find 7 catholic medallions in the yard that would've been lost after 1950's
also i think there was what looked like a weigh station platform there - might help
and the item isn't perfectly round i should've looked before i posted but the 1 photo shows
a flat area almost the entire length roughly 1/8th inch at the wide end the rest is round
unicorn sculpture - - - unicorn weathervane/gate could've been many things i'll keep asking
the people i know that might know and i'll keep searching the web till then it'll be a special relic
for the display i have for this site

"thanks again for your ideas everyone"

I think Zepher got it with a vent brush? Also they call it a brush but they have no bristles it works more like a reaming tool.

Again Just a Guess but this may show it is

Cast for a statue

Not Tooled for use.

If not perfectly round I would not be meant to
Go around.

I am curious as to whether the flat part is there by wear or there by intent?

Broken knee when i saw Zephers photo it looked very similar unfortunately it's a small
pic and i have a hard time looking at it might be it though ?

jeff all the cast statues that i've seen were quality made not crude like my item
i'm not saying you're wrong though but if it was a gun tool i'm thinking it was made to push
it through the barrel not turn it the ridges were there to hold the fabric i'm just guessing too

I am curious as to whether the flat part is there by wear or there by intent?

creskol doesn't look like it to me i just took some more photos and i'll post them
i did find some images that look similar i'll put them in here after i post the photos

thanks everyone

 

[Mike in Berks]

I hope this helps ........

comparison to a new gun cleaner only problem my threads don't fit in the inside threads

measurements


the flat side

the opposite side seam ?

the round part

the threaded end

the opposite end
attach=8]

i just noticed the threaded side doesn't match

good luck

 

[Mike in Berks]

hey everyone
i just talked to a few of my friends and all opinions ruled out gun cleaner

they seemed to agree it could've been a unicorn statue and one said ...... lol
it could've been a leg to a base from like a tea set, etc. any kind of base

so like jeff said this item could've been from anything 100's of things

looks like it'll be a "what's it" forever but it's a keeper to me

thanks for all the help everyone
