    Welcome CHSH, help us help you.
    I can't get a concept of the whole item. Is there a lid at the top of the cylinder? Does the green part feel like plastic or stone? How tall is it and what is the diameter? I think the fish feet would be described as dolphin feet.

    Are you sure it is stainless steel. You make it sound like it was very rusty. . .not something stainless steel should do to a great degree.

    Very rusty. Rusty metal. 10H by 3W. Two piece. Lid comes off. Feels like marble but glued in.

    It looks like it may have been part of a brass filigree dresser set, possibly held a cologne bottle that's been misplaced or broken over time. These sets were widely available in the 1950s-70s.

    I know. I realized that after I went public. I was laughing at myself so much it was too late to change it. I need a hug. Lol. Old. Half-blind stroke gal. The photos are as clear as I see. Trying to do better.

    Hugs. Hugs. and more Hugs. I thought it was very funny and a natural thing to do. You will find titles around here are often a stream of consciousness. I have created a few myself. No worries. Do they best you can do. People are very nice around here.

    You don't give size but the canisters of these 1960s vanity sets typically held a hair spray can.

    I'm willing to bet that a lot of people are here only to see an actual container full of fish-feet.

    I too want to see some fish feet, and for some reason this thread made me think about this song that I first saw on the old Dr Demento show.

    Can you imagine. USA Antique public forum. Member requests assistance with Fish feet container. Post goes viral. Readers digest. Trophy award winner. Fox national news - media. Aqua Net sells out. Makes a come back. Pay per click proceeds go to antique forum owners. Moderators and active members. Hugs.

    Oh, my! It's been many moons since I thought of Fish Heads! This has indeed become a strange and intriguing thread!
