Trash pit find

[Joshr29]

I found this in the younger trash pit on the land I am searching. It only dates back to the late fifties or so. It is a cellar that has been filled up or the snake pit as I've called it on here before. I was wondering if anyone could help me on an ID of this. I know it looks like a pipe but the long piece doesn't have a hole in it.

Hey Josh,

What am dat material?

I am not sure what the material is. It is metal but non magnetic.

candle snuffer?

 

[Joshr29]

Thanks for the ideas everyone. Could be either one of those I guess. The inside does not have any threads in it.

Looks kinda like a window crank, the kind you see in pickup toppers....

Candle Snuffer for sure

Some questions:
-Is the hole inside the cap threaded?
-Coes the ball looking protrusion on the "handle's" underside look like it's inserted, like it's retractable with a spring inside? Could it be clipped into something?

Can we see a photo of the spot where your thumb is on the pic on the right? I'm thinking window crank. Similar to a fishing reel crank.

I'm going with the window crank idea............HH

busted valve cover stud?

X2 on the window crank, but off an old house window.

Not the same, but you get the idea

 

[Reed Lukens]

You're on crank or cranken the wrong way

 

[Joshr29]

I think this is the pic you wanted.

is it a despenser top to maybe a soap bottle or despenser or hand creme/lotion?
