Here's a small item I dug early last summer and it's had me baffled. It's only 7/8" (23mm) across at the base and about 1/2" (12mm) across the threaded end. From what I understand the phrase "Made in USA" dates it sometime after 1900. The only thing I can find for the name Schrader is related to valve stems and cores for tires and inner tubes.
It says "Schrader" and "Made in USA" on the side....

...and it has the number "9253 also stamped on it.

Here's the threaded end.....

And the wide end......

The lip is too sharp for any type of instrument mouthpiece. Any ideas??????
