If it is British and before the 1960s it would be a Whitworth Thread. and BSW and BSF, the metric stuff was very rare in the UK until the late 70s early 80s.

Hi all. Just took a picture of the what whatever it is today.
So here it is. Got me stumped.
Decorative trim from something, fridge or washing machine would be my bet , but could easily be from a big workshop tool like a bender or press.

My initial thoughts are a lock knob off a "GH" industrial mixer or meat mincer. Ken.

I doublt if it's an American car wheel spinner. If its a car wheel spinner at all I would have thought it would have to be an Australian one seeing as that's where it is now but, it may be an imported item.

Looks like a coarse Whitworth thread.

You are correct.
My memory was a little out, from those days I needed 4 types tools. A/F, BSF, Whitworth and metric.
Ah easier these days.
Cheers
