[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 7862816, member: 84"]I found this cast iron/metal (heavy) lizard or iguana with what has to be hand blown glass because it forms little bubbles that fit into each hole on it's back, at a local thrift store. The most interesting part is the dish(?) that would hold a candle acts like a gyroscope - no matter how you hold it the candle would stand upright (and it has a clip so it could be mounted like it's climbing a wall)! It is 16" long x 8" wide x 4" high Has anyone seen one of these? Any idea of it's age? Thank you!
