OK I'm back again with another what is it..(solved by Lucas & bigcypresshunter)

No clue at all... there is a pencil in the back ground for size reference ok I have one clue its square on the bottom round at the top... and it made of brass... ok fine thats 3... no writing... nothing on it... found in an area that dates from the 30's to the 50's

It looks like the base of an old electric lamp.

Any threads in the hole and the pencil not good for size. How wide is it?

Re: OK.. I'm back again with another what is it...

if anyone seen any of that... sorry I had a premature solution... the hole is too big...

it is threaded... the threaded diameter is almost 1/4 inch real close

Candlestick base. From when? 1930's-50's. :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:

I thought of that as well, unscrewing it may make it pack easy plus easier to clean :dontknow:

The base to some sort of trophy, like bowling or other sporting competitions.

I'm thinking the same thing, a lot of trophies have threaded rod that goes up through the rest of the parts of the trophy, it is about the right size for a small trophy.

I guess it could be a small candlestick base as well with the upper part screwing into the base.

Re: OK.. I'm back again with another what is it...

I would say candlestick, 1 1/2 inches is pretty small for a trophy base.

Now we have a winner! those two in the middle have an identical base to what I found... Good Job!

Thanks for the comments everyone!

But I'd still say its an older one....
