Bob - you really need to work on your camera skills ! Your Ebay photos are also blurry which isn't helping sales any !

Re: Can anyone identify this brass lever
For what it’s worth it looks like a repo part that wasn’t finished out. I could be wrong!!
I’m not familiar with other old cars and it could be for another make. Did the early Fords have brass levers on them? Maybe other makes did?

I should have put a smiley face on my post Bob - my apologies as I wasn't attempting to be critical as I'm technically challenged but my wife procured a nice, small digital camera for shop work - that I can operate !

Re: Can anyone identify this brass lever
Bob, I sure hear you about your phone. My has only done a few thousand photos and it is tired of it. It's decided to focus again but yuck...
This may get shot down like a clay target but I'd guess it's mostly finished. It's like a throttle lever for a carb with a light spring tower and maybe the large boss might be for a locking screw on the carb shaft?
Sure is pretty! The little bugger.
