Old Iron Spiral Tip with Red Paint unusual photographs From all that I’ve have

From all that I’ve have seen

At first I thought this might be a box made to hold playing cards

paper is in overall good shape and free of tears

When you press the button on at the center of the wooden base

there is a little triangular bit of wood at the center that I believe serves as a bumper to keep it from knocking against the wall

Old Iron Spiral Tip with Red Paint unusual photographs From all that I’ve haveAs you may know, I've been hunting interesting old finials of late, which this is not, but I find it satisfying in the same sort of way, including for the old red paint still clinging to it. Surely it was the head tip of an old tool of some sort, but now without a handle it's just a good object to set somewhere, made of iron so nice and heavy, and with this very satisfying spiral. 5 7 8" t x 1 1 4" in diameter and indestructible.
