Took delivery of an RCBS A2 Press and this was screwed into the threaded insert for the die. Looks like a plumbing part to me?? It's cast brass with an unthreaded ID.

That is one of the rare and vintage wehaveabsolutelynoideawahtitis, so it must go with the press.
Other than that, no idea.

It is a petcock for an old flintlock so you close it off (at the muzzle), fire the gun. and walk around with the pressure stored up for when you want to use it. Simply unscrew it while you point at the target and zoom. Out goes the roundball. Or maybe not.
oh one of them
This is obviously a press mounted pitot tube petcock primer.

Heck, I haven't seen a pitot tube ever since they started making solid state pitot circuits.

It looks like a female to male adapter (a sex changer).
I have seen One Before.. It seems to be a Unique Object of Importance. The area Of manufacture and The Years of production Escape Me @ the Moment. . But It will work where You want it To

It's a Dixon F x F gas fitting I believe.

The press owner was just using it for a handle. It served no reloading purpose.
He might have hung it from a rack or the ceiling to get the press out of the way.

Some people know its real use, but the information is classified.
You guys know as well as I do that fitting made one of the first semi progressive presses possible. You simply screwed it into the press and then screwed another press onto the top to get two stations at once.Likely it came from an estate sale and whoever cleaned off the guys work bench figured that piece got screwed in there since it was in the vicinity.
