Metal hardware Item Number: 2019.O.006:623 from the Sto:lo Research & Resource Management Centre
two interlocking pieces of metal hardware. Inside piece appears to have coiled copper with attachments that look electrical in nature. Outer piece appears to be the hardware that would fit the inside piece to whatever it was used for. It has one large threaded base, and one smaller threaded spout. "KNOXVILLE" embossed on end of inner piece with other letters that are illegible due to green oxidizaiton and general corrosion, maybe piece of air brake system for trucks?
