<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quirkygirl, post: 265109, member: 106&quot;]Asking for help on an item belonging to an acquaintance who has had this in her rural consignment shop for years where nobody has been able to identify it.&nbsp;&nbsp; She doubts that it&#039;s worth much, but would still like to know what it is ... or what it belonged to.&nbsp; I thought maybe you guys could figure it out since you are so good at figuring stuff out!</p><p><br /></p><p>Height: 1¾&quot; (4.5 mm) not including small bail handle</p><p>Diameter: 1¼&quot; (3.1 mm) across bottom</p><p>Diameter of hole in bottom: about 7/16&quot; (1.2 mm) or just under ½&quot;</p><p>Weight: heavy for size - about 4.6 ounces</p><p><br /></p><p>Looks like aluminum on the outside with a short brass &quot;sleeve&quot; at the entrance of the hole in the bottom. There seems to be a copper (retention?) ring inside the hole beyond the brass piece, and a fitting of some sort at the very bottom of the hole.</p><p><br /></p><p>Only the handle and the small fitting deep in the hole are magnetic.</p><p><br /></p><p>The dark dot on top looks like it would be an indicator light or something, but it isn&#039;t translucent ... it appears to be plastic or some type of composite material.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since it isn&#039;t mine, I haven&#039;t cleaned it (which is obvious from the photos) or fiddled with it too much.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any and all help.&nbsp; I&#039;d like to get this back to her with a positive ID.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]83309[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]83310[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]83311[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]83313[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]83314[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]83315[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
