Can You Identify this Mystery Object?
Wednesday October 1, 2008
I thought this little metal object shaped somewhat like a lighthouse was a lamp finial when I first saw it, but the person questioning its use informed me that it's flat on the bottom with no threading. Given that, I'm fresh out of bright ideas. Do you have any idea what it is? Post an answer on the Antiques Forum or submit a comment here.
