Thanks for the thoughts. Oh well, I'll keep an ear and eye out for strangeness in our vehicles and power equipment. But I'm hanging onto it for now. Invariably the moment I throw out something I discover what its use was.

Mother told us that she threw out a couple of old pictures of a cottage in a setting she did not recognize. Later came to think it might have been her grandfather's home in Scotland (which he left in 1832 on his 16th birthday).

Looks a lot like a sprinkler plug.

Something like this.

But as I look at it, I'm thinking oil fill plug from a lawn mower. Here's a random one from a Google image search.

Wait. Four generations make up 200 years?
