    Hi, this has been sitting in my shed for years and I have no idea what it is.

    It's brass and heavy. Could it be 1 of 2 and something used to rest fireplace tools on ?

    Just loaded a 3rd picture. I didn't realise the top unscrews.

    Any help in identifying would be appreciated.

    Cheers and all the best from New Zealand. Piotr

      ?? To practice Cattle roping ??

      A shoe/boot rest -- or like a place where you get your shoes shined? You rest your boot heel on it to be polished.....?

      What is the size of it ??
