Nope, not a nail trimmer.

Well, whatever it is, it seems to be lying flat on a table in a room painted a light color, with a large window at on end ;-)

But by the look of it it has been used outdoors.

part of a parking meter

Handle for a valve of some kind? Maybe the control valve for a radiator type heating system. I haven't seen many heaters of that type, as I have lived in Florida most of my life, and we don't have those here. It just looks like it would be part of that sort of plumbing, and a very old one at that.
Another good candidate would be that it's a gas valve for a stove or heater.
ETA, Congrats on being chosen Member of the Week kirbic !

Oh, Fritz is member of the week? Awesome! Congrats.

For the item...
It is laying flat but is normally upright. It's kind of old, maybe about 40 years and mainly used indoors, specifically in a certain room.
Not every home has one but a lot do. But, what it produces, every home has.

A valve for mixing hot and cold water, such as for a shower?.
05/20/2012 11:00:14 PM · #2758
Is it the control to adjust the heat setting on a water heater?

This is on the right track. Very close.

Bingo, this is a pepper grinder.



You're up, Penny

Yea! Thanks. But it was a Bear-Click (!) team effort as Robert bear_music pointed out on Sunday evening that the other settings on the dial were probably "Fine" and "Coarse" and thus it was likely a grinder of some sort. We'll (as a team!) come up with the next object, but it'll be an hour or so.

OK. Here it is. This particular item has a very specialized use. We are looking for a very specific answer! Good luck.

filter media?
05/21/2012 03:08:18 PM · #2769
looks like a grinding disc
05/21/2012 03:16:46 PM · #2770
No to both of those; not a grinding disc or a filter media.

Protective pad to go under furniture leg?

Nope, but it might be helpful to keep thinking along those lines.
