Hey does anyone know what this could be?  Have posted this on a few sites but nobody knows.  Thanks for looking.

Is it threaded on the top??

looks like a lamp base... a good electrolosis cleaning would help it in identifing though.....

What size is it? It looks like a fenial.

A couple of pics from different angles and something (ruler?) to get a idea of size and dimensions would help.

It is threaded on top.  I'll take a few more pics along side a ruler so you can get the size of it.  Thanks for looking.

While you're doing that, Mike, I'm beginning to think it may be a bed post knob.

Also, what material is it made of ?? metal(brass), wood, ceramic??

Here are a few more pics of the object.  You can see a man in the center but don't have any idea what it might be.

I agree with Pastorals looks like a bed post.

[BarberDimeMike]

Don't think it's a bed post.  Flat on bottom.  Threads are external.  Man would be upside down if it screwed into a bed frame.  Thanks for looking.

I think it is the center piece to an old lamp. The bottom more than likely rested on another larger piece of metal that had wide fluted legs for stability. I have seen the design with the man somewhere before I just cannot remember it right now.
