So had to get out to do some detecting what is it

So maybe the worlds smallest cup lol I swear I find the weirdest stuff detecting second guess would be something to put candle out but design looks to be right side up sitting as is its about a half inch tall

Depending on what the top looks ike, possibly a victorian thimble

 

[jtw1313]

Looks like it had a handle though

 

[jtw1313]

Maybe thimble case

Looks like a brass candle snuffer used at churches. Has a long handle attached when complete.

 

[johnnyi]

No, if it had a handle it's nothing to do with a thimble. can you photograph where the handle might have been? Thanks


p.. Ha, just saw bootybandit posted when I was writing. No doubt he's right

 

[jtw1313]

Thats what I thought

 

[johnnyi]

Aye, I see. Perhaps too small for a snuffer and may in fact be the remains of early toy doll vessel? Does the top sit flat maybe?
