Hey All,
I posted this once a long time ago, never was able to figure out what it is. Just about all the info I have is what you see in the pictures. A solid, heavy piece of copper/brass hardware, probably circa 1880-1910 based on the place I found it. Has a bunch of prongs coming off it that I'm assuming are bent from their original configuration. There are three screw holes, one that goes all the way through and two on the back that do not. If I had to guess I'd say something electrical, but I've looked through all kinds of old catalogs for phones, telegraphs, home improvement, etc and not found what I'm looking for. Hopefully you can help. There aren't any markings on it, what you get is what you see -- I don't think more detailed pictures will contribute to this one but let me know.





Thanks Everyone,
