Subject:Today's mystery object... ???
Posted By: Chris Thu, Apr 12, 2018 IP: 81.110.84.32

Apologies in advance. I really have no ckue to the object (brass?). Please see attached but perhaps the stamp on the rear is a clue?
Size approx 6" x 3 1/2".
All responses/ideas welcomed and gratefully received.

Chris D.

Looks like an ashtray to me.

Cheers,
Stan

Thanks Stan but the 'cigarette notches' are too small for cigarettes and lean/slant the wrong direction?

I think it's the bottom piece or stand to something.

Thanks for the ideas gents. The motorbike seat suggestion seems unlikely given its size but I do go along with idea that it is the base to something.. I was hoping the stamp to its base might be recognised. Seems posdible that a spindle or some such was supported at its ends by the notches?
Perhaps we'll never know.
