I found this by an old rock cellar hole. Signal nearly blew my ears out. It looks like a brass Victorian coat hanger.

Got a place you can put that to use? Maybe in your kitchen for a towel?

 

[Ninjafossils]

Maybe. I just want to know what it is and old old it is.

I agree hit it with some brasso and hang my kitchen towel from it

It looks like something that may have been attached to one of those old pieces of furniture that folks kept in their front foyer. A kind of combination coat rack/mirror/seat/muddy shoe bin. Here are some photos of what I am talking about. Some were very ornate.

Ninja,
Not sure what it was used for, but I know I want one. That thing is so cool. Very neat find.

Looks like a "Hall Tree" hook. That might be what SkySgt was thinking of.

That's a beautiful find! You should definitely re-use it in some way.

The 'look/style' screams late 19th C to me. Reminds me of a hat/coat hook, clearly made to be sturdy & hold a relatively heavy coat (which points to an older type).
