What Is It?

They look like gate valves with some parts missing, and some other parts in common.

Same part, two views. "Front" and "back".

Bout 2" overall.

It fits into a larger assembly along with two others.

It looks as though somebody smashed two surfaces out of parallel between the two photos.

Looks like a part from a toilet flush system.

It's the ambifacient lunar waneshaft of a Retro Encabulator. I'd recognize it anywhere!

Now, why didn't I know that?

A check valve for a PD pump?

I think a flow control valve of some sort from the irregularities showing on the ball. One direction gives 90 degree movement, while the other only gives 45 degree.

Maybe "fast" and "Slow" fill options.

Handle seems to be 2 part to enable locking onto plastic threaded shaft, providing height adjustment.

Looks like some sort of connection joint. The threads are too coarse for it to be a precision part. Looks to me like something that holds 80-20 parts together. Or maybe a suspension part for an ATV?

Stud an nut? No?

New fangled stopper control for your bar sink....

Is it a part of an adjustable mirror? It looks like something for a vehicle.

No,and yes.

With that clue,...

is it a Part for the Window Regulator (power windows) on a car?

I'm only saying that because its has plastic and that is what breaks them.

No windows.

Trunk latch then...

Wrong end.

A latch for the bonnet. ^{For the European contingency.}

Its a Porsche!

How about some part of a sliding door on a minivan?

It's a pinky squasher for extracting information....

It's that thing you keep adjusting while you claim you can't hear your wife....

that is classic. With everything so PC, I sometimes forget how good SNL was.

The operative word here being 'WAS'.

AS Joe Biden would say.....

"I said what I said."

Looks like a tensioning device that clips on a thin sheet sitting on your denim trousers and a finger tip on the camera lens!!

But, what direction was I facing when the photos were taken?

Lyn,

You always ask the hard questions!!!

I believe your leg is facing approx. north - north west seeing as the shadow was to the right of the part......

Though I'm just pulling that out of my A**?!?!?!

Unless it was morning and I was facing south-southeast?

But you are, somehow, correct about my compass orientation.

That has nothing to do with what the part is, or does.

The item has been identified by one member.

I'm giving you one GA for your orienteering skills.

Lyn,

I'm sitting here laughing my butt off. Thanks for the laugh.... and the GA!!!

I'm usually a bit more directionally challenged.... I got lucky!

As for the part?

I believe that it is the device that attaches a mirror to a vehicle somehow?

It is a device that, in this case along with two other like devices, attaches something to a vehicle.

It is not for looking backward.

I'll reveal the correct answer soon unless the correct identifier chooses to do so first.

A headlight adjuster.... I knew I've seen one before!

_{^{I still think it's for a Cavalier.....}}

Headlight retainer/adjusters for F 150, not that other thing.

JNB gets the all expenses paid trip to the living room!

All expense paid trip, then Make it a beer run

Why not? I'll buy for everybody!

Am I invited too?

At first that looks like a toilet seat from below.

The resemblance is quite stunning.

Is it that thats causing you grieve?

Used to be able to get them here; http://www.manspacemagazine.com.au/hobbiesmystery-henry-hoke/

It seems like a part of auto-tilt steering mechanism..
