plummen Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 If you pull the plastic cap off the threads I think its some kind of expanding plastic plumbing plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 I'd call that a nipple. Sorry if that's offensive to some. [] The old guy was a farmer so he had grease nipples installed on everything he owned. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Kibbel Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Is the white part porcelain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Breslawski Posted July 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Is the white part porcelain? It was painted, but I'm pretty sure it was. The black part felt like rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 One of the mounts for an antenna or mount for the cable to the antenna. I think the rubber just covers threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Amaral Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 I'm with BK.. looks like a rubber cap for a threaded antenna connection (CB, ham, maybe one of those cell-booster things..???) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hausdok Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Was there an exterior basement stairwell below that thing? Could it be a painted metal flange where some kind of railing was made using thin galvanized pipe anchored to the wall at a pipe flange above the inside end of the stairwell wall?
