Great find!

To the finder: Make sure you don't throw away the stand--it will be of the same metal, and will look like the photo turtlefoot found. This will help the value of your find. (And I only say this because the little bracket-like stand looks like something I might personally be tempted to throw away not knowing what it was).

Cheers,


Buckles
