    Anyone have a clue what this is? It is 12" tall, appears to have been around for awhile as it has some old repairs. As always you guys are the best and thank you! brasstree.jpg brasstree1.jpg

    Don't know, individually I'd wonder if they were to do with an oil lamp or something. Do they ring when you knock them together?

    Nope they do not ring! I thought of an oil lamp thing too but would be mighty scary!

    Was wondering that - Oil fountain? Oil dripper? with a missing "holder" that you would put that in? What do they call them oil lamps that drip oil and really don't light up? Century lamps?

    OH, wouldn't that be great if the oil dripping would make them brass pieces ring? OK, hoping for too much - LOL!!!!

    Spiritual use in Buddhism, like bells? Does it make sound when moved?
