Its round and made of brass.

It's round and made of brass.

I found this a few years back. It's brass and 1 3/8 inches.
Could this be a Bearing and what would it be used for?

It's solid metal turned green. I only found one. It,s a rare antique.

I believe it's a check ball. These were found in the "foot valves" of large water pumps. Bronge or brass was used because it would not rust. Tony

I don't think so, as muffler bearings are usually made of clay. I'm leaning toward a piece of a bumper fluid shut-off. The wrist-pin of the flu-flu valve could likely be found in the same vicinity, as they tended to seize at the same time.
