Tis is the second of a pair in my collection for decades.....again as the first post theirs something off about the manufacturing that tells me its to flimsy for american craft (taught to them by europeans)....this interesting pc. is far from complete.....photographed is the slim bar hole ......?......probably part of a hanger as some holes are unexplainable.....check for hidden wear points(photos).....C.1850-1925.....safe call....patina is dark.....no recent mishandling.....both pcs legit as stated.....thanks for considering.
