    metal, everywhere I turned

    And a carved wood mystery

    The magic number is 4 and 1/2

    Bell I that tall
    The iron piece is that wide
    The twin cups, yes, that tall

    Each is a mystery to me - I’m hoping you can help

    Thank You

    The iron ball looks similar to a string holder. Although most of them are cut exactly center in half.

    Yes, and it is heavy enough too.

    I thought about a candle - or a stand to show something beautiful

    The bottom has four little bumps as feet
    The top opening is a little wider then the bottom.

    What’s so curious about it is that it is so substantial.

    at 1st glance I was thinking the one in the first photo was a double pickle castor...
    but the walls are kinda high and the handle kinda low.....
    soooo....condiment holder???.......oil & vinegar ???

    I see 150 1/4 in your reply photo.
    I see 150 1/4 in the image i posted
    I don’t see it on the cup - confirmed orientation via stains and shapes of hand tooled design - nonetheless I checked each instance that design element repeats facing up and then down around the cup. 1FBBD2BC-24FF-4A1F-ACDB-C3F9F8CD2D24.jpeg AA272BAE-A88F-4FE7-BC08-5EC9BA748D2C.jpeg

    I’ve been looking, my only thought and it’s far reaching, was maybe the decorations are wedding bands. Will keep looking. Maybe you could show the handle.
