It’s a timer for watering the lawn. Probably goes out to a home installed irrigation system.

Hard to say unless you traced where that water line went.

We use one to fill our swimming pool without having to watch it.

I saw your attached file first. That is a broom, it is used to move dirt and dust around in the floor.

Do they know how exactly people used them? Are they valuable if still in working order?

Most people held onto the long green “handle” bit and pushed the white bit with all the little green “bristles” around.

Then my dad would smack me across the back of the legs with the handle for not doing a good enough job. J/k

Not unless you cut off the water, and cap off the pipe (then turn the water back on). It’s probably still connected to your water supply.

Depends which pipe. The copper mains pipe: as ephemeral gibbon says. The Plastic pipe after the timer: not sure, depends what it’s connected to, but it might be possible to just cut it off.
