    Trying to make an inventory of a few pieces that I inherited recently,
    and this cone shaped piece turned out to be one of our favorites, but I have no idea what this would have been used for. It stands 13" and is 4-1/4" base diameter. Has one 3/4" rectangular opening near the bottom. No mfg. marks. Weighs almost 2 pounds. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

      If it’s hollow inside with an opening, it’s probably a wall pocket. The rectangular hole would be use to hang it on the wall.

      This is what I was referring to:

      Yes, it is hollow. Thank you very much for the help. Pat
