If it's what I think, it's a copy of a short bell cast 5 chime similar to what a lot of smaller UP steam had.. These were available NOS direct from China awhile back. I had a machinist turn out the female threads and then slip a 2" NPT coupling inside, then seal weld it. Can't hardly tell it ever had metric threads.
