Can anyone identify this air vent?? Probably very early. No identifying marks or logos at all.It came along with 17 radiators stored in a basement.

Ain't that special!
Is it made out of brass?0 -
the vent is brass or bronze
Yes, brass or bronze. casting marks lengthwise through the C/L of the nipple.
The adjustable pin will meet a pin that could extend from the body (on pressure or temperature - haven't put it in a radiator or pot of boiling water yet.)

That's a new one on me
obviously some sort of adjustable vent. Might be a Norwall or Libra or similar- the adjuster probably points up when the vent is installed, and water sits in the body of the vent all the time.All Steamed Up, Inc.

I know I have a photo of them some where
I just need to find which old parts book it is in. Walworth may be close. I do not see ones with the adjustment screw but the bodies look close.Cost is what you spend , value is what you get.
