Good afternoon !!!!

This Redwood stump is believed to be 1200 years old, a huge 2007 storm moved it about 15ft inland from where it previously sat. I can't remember a time it wasn't there ! My guess is the 1964 flood brought it down the Smith river.
McVay beach Brookings Oregon.

I did it with an ATV with a plow, the a tractor with a snowblower, then the plow on the truck.
I have an old Craftsman 5hp snowblower that I get tuned up, then the gas goes sour. Get it tuned up, repeat.
I might buy a newer one this year to do the paths and in front of the garage.
It would be handy to do along the rock garden so I could do the rest with the plow.

I found a Francis Mauth (spell check OMG) clock from the 1890-1930's at an estate sale, they asked... do you want a couple of totes of old chandeliers, glass for them, parts.... and these ! I better look at all the maybe milk glass lighting parts. I grabbed the totes before wife could get to me !!

Looks like the top of a light fixture. It's upside down. A glass globe would be beneath it, fitted against that circle of bumps, and the hole in the middle is where the socket and wiring goes. Something like this only more ornate:
