    Found this today at the farm. I am guessing dried flower holder. My daughter's guess is potpourri holder.

    Anyone have an educated answer to what this is? It is made of brass.

    Cat is for size referrence ;)

    Thank you in advance

    Thank you. His name is O'Malley. I inherited all 18 lbs of him from my Aunt where I'm finding all these other little treasures. He is a sweetheart but incredibly sassy and chatty. LOL

    He has a very fine agouti coat. Wonder if there's a bit of Abyssinian in him.

    We got him from our vet. He got him in a box dumped on his front door as a kitten. Poor little guy. But he is fat and sassy now!!

    I got one of mine the same way - an eleven month old rather damaged boy dumped on my vet, who knew I'd take him. Eleven years later and the rest is history.
