    Anyone know what this is

    Found this tool in an old barn on my neighbor's property before they tore it down. This was always farm land, so it's likely something to do with farming. It's brass or bronze, the handle is spring loaded, and that half round ball is made of very hard rubber, similar to a kitchen faucet seal.

    A fellow on another forum recognized it. It's a fire sprinkler emergency shutoff tool, used by firemen. It's supposed to include a small clip on the handles that keeps it locked open, you can see it in these photos.
