Friday Morning's What's This - (Difficulty = 2.0)

[cabinetman]

I've got to admit there wasn't much of a writeup on this one. If I hadn't made something similar to it in the early 80's I would most likely have been stumped. I bumped the degree of difficulty up a half point just to be fair. It's one of those things you might just know. If our National Champion Ric doesn't get it right off I'll be surprised. There's a lot of pressure on him right now to keep the belt.

Just a word about the rules on this. It's going to need a specific answer. If it isn't guessed pretty quick (which it may) I have a few clues to help out.

Some kind of crusher. Even if it is, I know it is not specific enough.

A radiator cover.

The rejected design for a navel ship anchor.
More seriously a sarcophagus(sp?) stand.
(holds up an enclosier for a coffin.)

Art Deco Cast Iron decorative column top.

[Tequila]

You gotta start giving us more than one photo, or at least a description - how big is it, is it wood or metal, what's the back side look like.

From the photo thought, it just looks like a decorative cover of some sort - so I'll guess a light sconce.

You see exactly what I see. That's the only picture I could find. I tried to do some research on this particular item and the most I could find out was what it was. So, from the picture I'm guessing it is maybe 3' across and maybe 30" - 36" high. It's sitting on an outside deck next to some outdoor furniture. So, that's how I'm judging the scale. I have no idea what the back looks like. For all I know, the picture might be showing the back.

I'm also guessing it could be made out of wood, at least the one I made was.

Thanks for playing...clever guess...BUT...
