Does anybody know what this is? Have had 2 of them for years and I thought it might have something do with drum sets or mic stands, however I can't find anything. Google Lens keeps sending me to swivel sockets. 2 3/8" long - one end 3/8" brass thread with Allen lock screw - one end 3/8" steel thread, no lock screw - has a ball bearing at the pivot point and is very hard to pivot.
tom-toms on a drumset, but pieces are missing. Just a guess
Look in recording equipment, microphones, etc....
Think back: Why did you buy them?
You must have bought them for a reason. If you're an audio guy, you surely remember why.
Or, maybe you just bought them for cheap somehow, don't know what they are, and want to sell them for a small profit.
Tell us your story.

No, did not buy them, been in drawer in my shop for years and don't know where they came from. I am beginning to think they where one offs from a machinist made many years ago as I can't find anything online.
its relevance to audio.
"its relevance to audio."
Yea, I am trying to establish that ...
do you think it pertains?
Never in fifty years have I ever seen such a fitting used for any turntable, tape deck, CD player, streamer, amplifier, equalizer, speaker, etc .

- Either have I and the mystery continues ...
on a kitchenware forum. :)
Thanks for being so helpful ...
Probably a connector for attaching a boom to a regular mic stand.
One end threads onto the stand, the other accepts the boom, which would have some means of attaching a mic at its free end.
It's stiff so that the boom stays in place, though once connected the boom would provide the leverage necessary to make adjustments.
That you have two would indicate stereo mics.
But why brass at one end and metal at the other?
If it is in fact part of a microphone stand and I was going to put an expensive microphone in it. I wouldn't want any ferrous metals by the microphone.
Toss it? :)
It's not something you need obviously, likely not audio related, so just pitch it.
Not until I find out what it is for ...
There's nothing there to indicate it's size but could it be a part of a rear mirror adjustment?
No way, it works too hard.

microphone to stand adaptor?
I agree, I've seen these on microphone stands for vintage mics
"I agree, I've seen these on microphone stands for vintage mics"
Doubt it as it is too hard to pivot, I needed to put it in a vise and use a dowel to get it to move. I have searched for stands, mounts and vintage microphones and found nothing similar.
I think you are correct. I'm pretty sure that has been asked here before.
Seem to recall inmate51 identifying it as such.
But I could be wrong.
.
Freak out...Far out...In out....
I am beginning to think this might be nautical as it takes so much force to pivot it. No way to pivot it with just a mic on it. I had to insert 2 dowels and use the workbench to get enough leverage to move it from the straight position to the angle.

Tried that months ago.

widget if I ever saw one.
It probably DOES have something to do with a mic stand or drum hardware though.
Probably drums, drummers get EVERYTHING.

?? I do not see any evidence of an electrical/electronic function. Looks like a purely mechanical flexible joint.
I agree Kal, but what's with the brass insert?
Thought I could link you to the answer from an old post I recalled but it was your's asking the same thing. Maybe us inmates can give it another go!
Best of the season!

Yea, I found 2 earlier posts asking the same question with slightly different photos. Maybe someone new will know.
Some earlier replies guessed at boat parts or antennas but one of my sons just got back to me saying the brass indicates a low load for something light like mics.
