Found detecting the river

Me and my buddy were detecting the river Sunday and found this. I offered to upload it here. Any ideas? I believe it's copper.

Part of a lamp or lantern?

Looks like a piece to an old vehicle “headlamp”? Dunno

Part of hanging or table lamp IMO

Sweet, you found my Prom Queens tiara from the spring of '79! It was a hoot, we ended up skinny dippin' in the river after the dance and it's a time i'll never forget!

carburator float?

Is that writing on the first pic, just to the right of the emblem. Maybe a letter "D"? Gary

You win, my friend. Someone just walked into my office and asked what it was, I said I forgot to check and read this... it was a hit.

I'm leaning more lamp. It's ornate, possibly a lamp fixture.

No, it's a pattern



I just found this stamp.

With this added info... I am changing my guess to part of a "cruet".

Looks like a large decorative lid to something. The doo-dad on the first picture facing the viewer is where it snapped shut. In the second picture at 12 o'clock it looks like it was torn off a hinge. Either that or I've got an usual imagination...

Is it hollow? Could a hose be attached and it be a stationary sprinkler?
