I found this brass object about 25 years ago.

It showed up in tha water heater closet today?

I never could figger out what it is.





The large hole has a lip on tha inside
apparently for a retainer of some kind.

Could this be a water nozzle, maybe
for a hotel fire hose?

The inside diameter of tha big hole
is 1 and 5/16 inch.



The inside diameter of tha small hole
is 11/16 inch.





Thanks fer lookin,

Tabdog

Not sure what it is supposed to be but if you could thread the big end and put a plug in it and then drill a vent hole it would make a neat little black powder cannon if it is the same diameter inside from end to end. Wink

Sorry, but it does not have a consistant bore.
The metal is a uniform thickness, so, the inside
follows the shape of the outside.

I think it is too small in size for a water noozle but could be related to some sort of bar / brewery gear?

lildave;

My Ozark grammy never used the term /smulter pan/, what is that kind of pan?? Looks like part of the handle of a bed warmer pan (which has a name I cant remember), am I close?

Ive been looking at this, for a couple days, and thats the best I can figure. Those bed warmers were often ALL brass with a long wood handle, carrying more brass, usually made to hang on the wall.

a smulter is like a pan on the end of a solid rod, they were used many years ago to help clean out the burned wood,kinda like a shovel.

I would think for a handle like that
the brass would be thick and heavy.

The thickness of this brass object
is about 1/16 inch or so. It is
hollow inside.

I am still thinkin lamp part.

Thanks fer yur help,

Tabdog
