<p>[QUOTE="Rabbitfootantiques, post: 1267279, member: 12998"]Hello Folks:</p><p>I just found this site and must say that it is very nice. I was hoping that someone may know what this object is or was used for. I've been in the antiques business for several years and have never seen anything like it. The piece appears to have been made in the mid to late 19th Century. It has a lead egg at the top that looks like it may be some type of counterweight yet it has a screw/gear system. I'm really at a loss. Any ideas?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
