    Why do you think it might be church related?

    Re: golf related?

    jim looks like maybe something to snuff candles or something...its the right size and if it had a 3 foot handle or so it would be the right angle to set on top of a candle to snuff it. but...why apply for a patent for that?

    dg handle portion is same level of tarnish as the inside curve is so i dont really think it was heat. bottom appears to be less tarnished due to some wear and rubbing.

    I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines.  I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.

    Maybe a watering device that might thread onto a hose? The end piece might fan the water out for some particular application? What size are the threads?

    Now that you say that Ben - it kinda resembles the piece on a water fountain where the later comes out, and has that blade type thing there... you know whatI mean?

    Re: golf related?

    well yes...the end is threaded but not with hose threads and is only about 3/8" big. i googled hose sprayers and did not find one like it. and i dont think it was a drool gaurd from a drinking fountain either as its bronze and would not put the stream of water out without hitting the gaurd. with it having a patten i would think it performed some type of task. the bottom does appear to be scuffed up some as though it was used on some type of hard surface ie floor. hmmmmmmmmm

    Re: golf related?

    well all great guesses and much appreciated....BUT...doesnt have small turned up sides to direct flame...and why patten a lamp snuffer? thats like pattening a dinner plate. a sprinkling system water spreader might be it as it seems to have standard pipe threads to attach to but only an 1/8' hole for water near the spreader area. it seems free of wear on the inside radius of the curved piece but a good amount of wear on the bottom. hope this helps
