Found this stuff back in February. I am trying to figure out what the item in the upper right corner is. Looks like a nozzle of some sort. Maybe something for a tire? Found in the same vicinity as a Model T coil.

Thanks in advance and happy hunting!

As a firefighter it looks like an old foam eductor, possibly.
 
I think it may be to small for a fire nozzle.
I'm thing more on the lines of a garden hose nozzle with a shut off.
I have a few, but the nozzle end of yours looks modified in some way.
 
Very interesting! Roughly, how old would something like this be? Turn of the century? Thanks for the info!

You'd have to research your area for when the gas boom hit. I'd guess early 1900's on (until they determined how unsafe they were, as well as the appliances they were connected to).
 
That middle rectangle with the divider

Hey I came across your thread and I found something similar to that middle rectangle with the divide and was curious if you knew what it was
 
It is a primer cup but I think Model T cups were threaded at right angles to the cup to enter the side of special spark plugs. More likely to be for some other early gas engine. To use this on a T you would have to drill an tap the head which would be unlikely since that would involve removing the head to keep metal from falling into the cylinder.
 
Heres a gas valve I found. It has a 1901 patent date.
It has a little clip that locks the valve. Safety feature.
This thing still turned and would work.
