Does anyone know what kind of radiator valves these are, and where I might find some more info on them?



None of them leak, but all are hard to turn. I am assuming they're either dirty or need some kind of oiling / maintenance. But before I start tearing into one I'd like to understand what they are and how they work. I have the handle off of this one, but they all have wooden handles with a pin that slides through the wood and valve stem. I would assume these are circa 1910 if that helps any.
