Its part of a brass float valve, where the float attaches to the the valve. Modern.

That's probably it but that type of adjuster us used on many things.

what's it made of?
Its not a gear - there would have been a matching surface that it would be bolted to for incremental adjustment

I've seen similar doohickeys on flag holders used as the angle adjustment doohickey.
