Clock winder??

Spent a few hours at East Shore Park in New Haven this morning. I came across this relic. I believe it to be a winder for an old clock. If anyone has more info on what exactly it is would be appreciated. Happy Hunting!!!

PS Since cleaning it, I can see threads at the base. Possibly an old mechanical valve?

Nice find. :yes: Doesn't quite look like any of the old clock winders I have seen posted. Keep in mind
I am definitely not a relic guy though. :embarrassed: Some of the more experienced relic hunters will be able
to help you out soon. thumbsup01
 
I won't even venture a guess. :cheesysmile: Dan will know, but he is currently without electricity and buried under 27 inches of wet snow. Miss you Dan! :crying02:
 
My guess is that it is an adjustable needle valve for a old natural gas line.:huh::huh:

:thinkingabout: :thinkingabout: :thinkingabout: :interesting:

i would agree with Jeff as it look like a valve from an old gas pipe or lamp .
