A friend gave me this, in a badly rusted condition, today. Cleaned up, it looks like the handle for a clinker shaker on some coal stove. What do you guys think this is? The legend embossed around the square opening say "Open" and "Close".
Looks like a shaker, but with the open close, could well be the draft tool. Also cold be a valve wrench, with the arrows like that. Thought you said it was rusty?
It was. Given enough time, I will clean rust off any iron tool.
