All, dug this fitting near a farm house that has was built in about 1800 and occupied most of the time since then. It is brass except for the end showing in the last photo. Given that this is a working farm my first guess is that it is from a farm implement. My next guess is that it is from a car or truck.

What do you think this fitting was used on? What was its purpose? About how old it it?

Looks like the fuel shut off from the bottom of an early Farmall / IHC fuel tank?
