    I have no clue. Any ideas? I just bought it today out of a box of old hardware. Just thought it was pretty, and I like the mark on the bottom. Hope someone can solve the mystery!

      How wide is the bottom, how tall is it ???
    2. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 7 years ago
      Oh Gee! No clue, but interesting!
    3. Deepseas72 Deepseas72, 7 years ago
      PhilDMorris, it is 7 inches at the base and 11 inches tall.

      It looks older than 1981 to me. Since the date was obviously stamped separately, I wonder if it is really 1861 ?
    5. Deepseas72 Deepseas72, 7 years ago
      I'm thinking the number probably does not signify the date. Just coincidental that it looks that way.
    6. Deepseas72 Deepseas72, 7 years ago
      Brunswick, yuck, lol, I hope that isn't the case, but it may well be. I wondered if the Indian on the stamp had anything to do with cigars. If it is, I'll repurpose it into something more pleasant.

      Brunswick, I do believe you've solved the mystery!

      I thought ashtray at first but too short for a standing ashtray, must be a lamp base of some sort. I would search ebay from time to time to see if you can find a like base in lamp parts.

      Just throwing out a stupid thought here....but couldn't something from ( lets say 1920 ) have a pattern number of something like 1981? Sometimes you have to look outside the box and see things different.....and not have a closed mind. So just wondering if it could be a pattern number - the 1981??

      I kinda think it looks like a lamp base too..........but ???

      Bottom part of a rifle rest from the "grassy knoll". Can you beat that Rose ? LOL !
    11. inky inky, 7 years ago
      Looks like thread inside so something would have been screwed on to it, if a lamp base the cord would have gone up through the middle and there is no room in my opinion...I'm with antiquerose, not a date but maybe pattern name..and certainly looks older than that..love a good mystery...:-)
    12. Deepseas72 Deepseas72, 7 years ago
      The problem with the lamp base theory is that there is no hole in the base. Also, the hole in the top of the rod is only the size of a toothpick. So I think that one can be eliminated.
    13. Deepseas72 Deepseas72, 7 years ago
      Antiquerose, it's definitely not a date, as you said. I'm sure you are right about it being a pattern,style,or serial number.
    14. SpiritBear, 7 years ago
      Look at the style of the mark itself:It has a more 'savage' theme to it, something we began moving away from in the early 1900s, when we realised, Oh, Hey, They're Not Savage: Just Different!
      I'm thinking it's Edwardian.
    15. surfdub66 surfdub66, 7 years ago
      Wondering maybe a book stand base maybe music??
      As they're thin at the top & portable so would come apart !??
    16. Deepseas72 Deepseas72, 7 years ago
      The small hole in the top is threaded. The hole is only 1 cm deep, and .5 cm across
    17. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 7 years ago
      Surely you don't mean .5 cm dia. ?
    18. Deepseas72 Deepseas72, 7 years ago
      blunderbuss, i was just eyeballing it earlier, but i pulled out my metric stick, and the center hole is indeed half a centimeter (not to be mistaken with millimeters). I tried to edit the post by deleting one photo and replacing it with a better photo of the screw hole, but it wouldn't allow me to add it.
    19. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 7 years ago
      Bigger dia. than it looked or comments led toward.
