HI EVERYONE
THIS IS AN OLD PIECE OF IRON MEASURING 7 INCHES HIGH AND HAVING A WEIGHTED BASE USING A LEAD INFILL. TO THE TOP IS A HORIZONTAL CIGAR SHAPED HOLLOW PART MEASURING 3.5 INCHES LONG. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE FOR RUSHES. THERE IS NO INDICATION IT WOULD BE WALL HUNG AND WITH THE WEIGHT IN THE BASE IT MUST HAVE HELD SOMETHING EITHER QUITE LONG OR QUITE HEAVY. CAN ANYONE HELP WITH AN IDENTIFICATION AND AGE.
MANY THANKS
RAY
