<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 2868344, member: 51"]Looks antique to me, but clearly some pieces are missing. The bottom has several holes to attach it to something.

(Photo 4)</p><p><br /></p><p>Although dark in color, I believe it is brass. Spots that are worn show brass color. Also looking at it again, I think the white residue on one side might have been someone's attempt at polishing it. The piece measures 4 1/2 inches across (not including the necks of the swans) and weights 1 lb., so fairly heavy. Any thoughts? Thanks.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]284017[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]284019[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]284022[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]284023[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]284024[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]284025[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
