Need something in the photo for scale. Hard to tell what size item I am looking at there.

I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard Detector18! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forum: Select Your Area.... and selecting location information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country). You might also consider adding your state (or country) to your displayed profile (SETTINGS -> EDIT PROFILE) - members may have more success helping you (your location may help, etc.)...

Looks like it was originally a cylinder shape. I'm guessing part of an embossed brass oil lamp.

Reminds me of a bracket to hold the socket for an automotive light.

I see what you mean. A twist lock socket. I think this piece is pre-automobile.

The pattern is like late 19th C copper ceiling tiles.

For sure socket hole for a lamp or something cool find

Oh, yes, oops, I’d missed the pattern stamped into it!
