I was goig to say possible grenado until i saw it weighed 7 pounds

 

[petroguy3666]

Its a solid 7 lbs, I cant find anything that I can say looks like it, other than some sort of bomb/grenade, I have seen that grenades weights were 6lbs, so 7 isn't that far off

 

[petroguy3666]

I am not saying it is a grenade, but sure looks like it

Two holes,then it might not be a grenade.All the ones ive ever seen had one hole.Also the hole in a grenade had to be big enough to put the shrapnel in,lead balls,etc.Thinking about it the two holes remind me of a whale oil lamp i have.The lamp font has two holes,one for the wick,the other to fill it.It could be a lamp.
