    He is almost 20", non-magnetic metal and heavy I was not sure what he was and saw the hole in the top when I got him home It makes me think lamp but the bottom does not Was he something else first? Any idea on age, origin or materials? Curious about this guy!

    Thank your any help you lend

    That is cool looking. Hmmm... This one is miffing me. I can't wait for someone to come along and let us know what it is.
