Any clues Oppo? Found in basement of my wife's grandparents. Her Grandpa used to work for a company that made carbon seals for jet engines.

Is it hollow to the tip? It looks like a giant version of a jet to a carburetor.

Guide/align/locking pin for something would be my guess. Did he just make parts, or actually work on jets?

I’m guessing some sort of milling machine or lathe adapter, since it looks like a morse or Jacob s taper, something like this:

Maybe a very old pitot tube?

Machining tool of some kind? Looks kinda like the taper that goes in the head of a mill but everything else about it doesn’t fit.

Looks like a guide pin or some sort of mandrel to me.

Cooling pin?  Just guessing.  Probably a bad guess.

I am not sure of all the things he made other than he was really proud of the seals.

It could be a housing for a temperature sensor for some kind of harsh conditions. Coloring looks like brass so I guess it’s not for jet engines. My example looks quite similar but it appears to be wearing a s teampunk helmet.

Description about my example says:

Element: PT100

Process Connection: G1"1/4 or G1"1/2 on bracket

Electrical Connection: terminal block

Outlet: PG16

Measurement Range: -50°C / +80°C

...

AMB temperature sensors are particularly recommended for use in “refrigerated atmospheres such as cargo holds, containers, warehouses and cold rooms.

Key parameters include:

• Possibility for 360° orientation of the sensor head for access to the cable glands

• Choice of sensing elements: thermocouple (all types) or resistant probe (simplex or duplex)

• Standard, nuclear or explosive atmosphere versions are available

• Fitted on set square or bulkhead

• Optionally, a 4-20 mA head transmitter can be integrated

• The electrical connection can be made by simple cable gland or qualified connector

I want to say it’s some kind of mandrel.

This is a reusable  alignment / locating pin.

“How do you know that, RootWyrm!?”

This might be it. I will do some looking into this.

Threaded, so it can’t fall out! Genius!

But does one  use KY or blue Loctite?

Loctite, and film that trip to the ER.

Nothing, that's what I looked for first.

It looks like the type of tools I have used for pre-forming carbon seals prior to installation, but not exactly. Every seal has its own tool, though.

Well it might be that. Her grandfather worked as an engineer at a company that made carbon seals. I can’t remember the company right off hand but will try to find out. I think we took this home with us also.

It’s crazy just how many specialized tools are required for every engine. I worked on T-56 engines for 8 years, now I work on F-100 engines- so far I’ve found 1 specialized tool that is shared between the two (and we don’t even use it).

About $1 of brass at the metal recycle shop ? In other words how grandad put your wife’s father through college?
