Mystery Leg - anyone recognize this leg

Does anyone recognize the motif or the intended use of this leg?

Stands 24 inches tall - on a metal wheel to the top surface
The metal wheel is one inch wide and 1.75 in diameter with about 1 inch exposed which contributes to the height.

The screw is 3.5 inches long with a diameter of 1.75 inches

I imagine one of the furniture people will know but do you think it could be a piano leg?

 

Am I the only one who thought I was going to see an old prosthetic limb when I clicked on this?

 

I had even worse expectations!

 

A flea market that I frequent has an old prosthetic leg propped up in a dusty corner. I always ask my husband "Why?" when we walk by. I think it is affecting me more then I realized seeing it in there.

 

Nice match
Nearly identical
Now to wonder about the screw offering any clue to manufacturer or period.

I’ve had a look at a Kranich & Bach 1886 leg and the attachment design is a cam keeper lever that fixes the leg in place - not a threaded screw.

likewise.....

 

I was hoping for the leg lamp when I encountered a piano leg!

 

No....
Which is why I just LOVE titles!
I was hoping for Juliet Prowse.

 

Ha!!! I have one of those, the small version, I resisted a large one a few weeks ago!
And I have the string lights...
And an ornament...
And a little jewelry box.

 

The person who left it there could just kic.....
-
Oh....never mind.

 

One of the volunteers at our local theater made a leg lamp for the play a couple of years ago. It's sitting back in the prop room and I'd ask him to make me one, but don't know where I'd put it! I know they're for sale online.

 

Wow! Thanks Aqui!
