Where was it found?

1800s home site that is now an empty lot, sits next to a laundry mat nowadays. Its made from a soft metal possibly pewter from the looks of it. If it was straightened it would be about 7" long, as it sits the hoop part is only 1.5" wide

Almost seems like a weird lead finial to me but I'm sure I'm wrong.

Handle and frame for a mirror?

I know exactly what that is. We use them when a pap smear comes back positive for dysplasia to perform the LEEP (Loop electrosurgical excision procedure.)

Is the non-loop end threaded?

Handle to a Victorian cruet set perhaps?

I think nhbenz has the right idea. The soft metal would be pewter and would be common on these and the tiered serving trays also.

Its a scary thought you being a doctor using an old condiment set handle for a procedure.


Can we mark this one SOLVED?

Could even be a hair brush frame and handle.
