1933 worlds fair item, Pipeholder?

[Superjonboy]

My mom got this at a garage sale for 50 cents. it says on the bottom "1933 A century of progress, Chicago". She thinks its a pipeholder, but neither of us could find out really anything else about it. Sorry I only have the one photo, its all she sent me. Anyone know what its maybe worth, or if its even anything rare? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Jon

Hmm thats interesting. This one is made of brass or copper or bronze I have no Idea. I am in Missourii, but my mom is in Washington, so I havent seen it in person, but its made of metal.

I did a google image search as well, they are made of everything, and come in all shapes and sizes. I couldn't find your exact one, but the concave shape is the same. I think it's def a pipe holder. But I would wait for some other member's opinions. I'm no expert. It'll be interesting to see what everyone else thinks!

being a long time pipe smoker seems to look like one to me--I'd put my pipe in it if I had it---Ivan
