✅ SOLVED Eagle Piece Still a Mystery

[Terry Soloman]

A buddy sent me this photo of a piece he found. I have no other photos or info. Anybody have a clue?

The cast iron looks thicker than old cast iron, I think it is modern whatever it is. Looks like a wall mount flower pot holder but without size it is hard to say.

Just hang it on the wall and put a very nice flower pot in the front circle. https://www.google.com/search?q=cas...AgKECQ&biw=1280&bih=577#imgrc=yP1XlrO-3vrzLM:

Aryan cup holder?

I think the mounting mechanism on the back would speak volumes about this piece.

As others said, it looks like a flower pot holder to me.

These are billed as "oil lamp holders". That makes sense to me...

There was an Eagle lamp and lantern company at one time. Could be an Eagle lamp holder.

These are billed as "oil lamp holders". That makes sense to me...

I believe that most of the lamp holders had like a cast mesh bottom in the holder where as the flower pot holder did not. https://www.google.com/search?q=cas...mAhVoUN8KHXOjCbAQ7Al6BAgJECQ&biw=1280&bih=577

Open bottom oil lamp wall brackets. I find a few of these at old mine dumps (usually broken though).


This one has a reflector for the back plate.

Yup, oil lamp holder. Cool find.

The lamp holders are built a bit more delicate where the plant holders are much more heavy duty. Terry's picture shows that it is very heavy gauge.
