Old gas Valve?

[ALAMOTX]

Found in a town from 1852.

Is this an old gas valve?

Thanks.

Yep looks like a gas valve that would go inside the house for the lights

Gas valve or drain cock for an old engine. Tony

need to see the the inside of each port to confirm
first glance would say gas but not convinced
reason - the ends look like common pipe thread
