<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dude, post: 1351797, member: 13170&quot;]This item weighs about 5.5 lbs. The glass globe (which has a lavender tint that the camera isn&#039;t quite picking up) is 3 lbs and the base is 2.5.</p><p><br /></p><p>The base is 4.5&quot; on all sides at the widest (bottom) square and is about 2.5 inches in height. Here&#039;s the interesting part: although the bottom of the base is highly magnetic, the sides and top are diamagnetic, so I&#039;m guessing they are made of lead. It doesn&#039;t look or feel like copper but perhaps. As far as silver, don&#039;t I wish!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure who made it or how to classify it. To me, the tiered base gives off vibes of art deco—yet the sphere looks like American glass. And what are the four holes on the base for if the glass just sits?</p><p><br /></p><p>Stumped again, folks, and looking for your expertise.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, I posted here in the general forum because I seem to get more responses than when I post in the specific forums.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]220872[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]220873[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]220874[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]220875[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]220876[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]220877[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]220878[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]220879[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]220880[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]220881[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]220872[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]220873[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]220874[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]220875[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]220876[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]220877[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]220878[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]220879[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]220880[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]220881[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
