Weird large brass with faceted stone??

[BuckleBoy]

I have no idea. My guess is 1900-1920 range based on the site. Probably something in the Sears Catalog, but I haven't been able to locate it yet.

Your help is appreciated,

Buck

It reminds me of those faceted lights/indicators on old signs.

I wondered if it was some sort of horse tack.

First thing I thought of was maybe part of an old car marker lamp assembly. Not exact but something akin to this...

Actually, cane topper was my second thought. Whatever it is, I believe it may have had another lens or faceted piece on the opposite side. You can see threads on the bottom end of it.

No idea, but must say it has style! Nice find!

I used to have one i dug years ago and someone told me it was a boat signal. It had red and blue or green on the other side, faceted glass like yours. Just what I was told.

Well dug in Louisiana, there are certainly lots of boats here! The water was 60 feet away from this site.
