This was intended to be a sand casting of a pipe fitting. It is a reject because there was no core inserted to create the hollow center.

this is a brass casting for a tub spout. the large base is for vertical mount onto the tub. Holes and tap machining has yet to be done. it is also chrome plated. I recognize this from my tub growing up. It was installed in the 1930's

I need a more specific reference link. Maybe something on the manufacturing side so I can compare this with another mold.

Looks like an un-machined casting of a bronze pipe reduction elbow.

Thanks for your opinion but I'am having hard time finding the same one. It will be great if you can attach another link that shows the same item that we have. Thanks again!

Did you know Micheal Faraday decorated his work space with his failed creations to spur his ambition to be better. I doubt anyone can provide a link to what you are asking as this is a raw casting not machine finished for whatever reason. Likely flawed and unsuitable for machine work. There are a large number of civilians that have backyard foundry's and are limited to smelting materials with low melting temperatures like aluminum, copper, bronze, brass, lead, etc. Here is a you tube link of a brief foundry process on a production scale. you will see similarities and understand why I say un-machined, hence unfinished. The small end did not form correctly as metal leaked into the sand flawing the part so this ended up as a paper weight or scrap. I don't expect you to take my word for it, but I am a metalworker, blacksmith, machinist, so I do have a little knowledge of my trade. { https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNMF6BDL8nk. } The link below is what this would have become if not for the flaw. Page 224, 225 of this link will help improve the picture. { https://archive.hnsa.org/doc/foundry/part4.htm } Truth is, it is worth what ever the scrap prices are the day it is received. Have a good day.

Thank you, if you figure out what this is exactly, please let em know.
