    Inked86631277_626123571297798_5294714963863011328_n_LI.jpg There is an etched mark on the spire. Maybe that will lead to dating. I can't help but maybe if you took a closeup straight on . . .

    You could be right. It looked etched to me.

    Just saying what I see. If it were "etched" what's the white rectangle? Pretty ugly spot to put something permanent.

    I tried to blow it up. It looks like writing, maybe to identify something about it? I could not make out any numbers, but it had BETTER NOT be maring such a cool piece!:bored:

    Hard to see what you've got from the photographs. They appear to be electrified. Did seller have a very late 19th century explanation for that?

    Alright. Have you looked carefully for any markings? And, if you've found any, would you please post close-up photographs.
