What is this?

[ORX]

I found it metal detecting. I think it's brass or maybe copper. It rang up and sounded like a big coin. There a design on both sides of the arms or hook things and one has a hole. It looks like something round sat into it. I'm thinking fire extinguisher ball holder but honestly don't know. Thanks in advance and I apologise for the photos

I forgot to mention it has a patent date if July 1865

Hello,
It appears to be an oil lamp shade holder. I'll search the patent and will post the link whenever I locate it. By chance, is the patent number stamped on it?
Nice Find

FFA (Free Friendly Advice):
I've never seen an object marked with both the US Patent date AND the patent-number. It seems to be you get told either one or the other.

That being said, when a US Patent date is marked on an object, it usually contains the month-day-year, not just the month and year (like Pat. July 1865). ORX, are you quite certain there's no day-of-the-month in the date on your mystery object?

I think it is July 18th 65...not 1865. Hopefully this photo helps. Thank you for the help

It could also be a worn 85 looking like a 65��

Looks more like a french tickler, only way too tight!

Here's a few more pics. It's not perfectly round it's more oval shaped
