What is this device

This is a pic of a device that I believe to be a type of throttling valve depending on the radiator size but hopefully someone can confirm or explain what it is. It has a bolt and Asher’s under the bolt head which are loose. I assume a handle was broken off and replaced. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    Very likely. What does it say on the side of the body there?

    A valve with a busted handle disguised so no one will try to turn it?
