Hi All!
Got another mysterious thing..
I've dug several of the crosshatched tubes before, figured they were lipsticks.
Now this more complete unit comes up
I can say the wingnut and threads rotate independently of the tube, it measures about 2-1/2", and would screw onto a 7/16 - 1/2 " nipple.
the gasket is flexible, resembles rubber with embedded fibers.
Valvestem cover has been suggested.
It reminds me of the piece above the valve on an 'old fashioned' steam home heating radiator.
I think they were a pretty common item, I got a reply from another member who has found the crosshatched tubes.
Thanks for looking & HH
