collection of assorted lamp finials

Here's one more of the "things" that I tend to watch out for and glom onto when I find them orphaned in junk drawers and such -- just because they're FUN. ;-) :-) Lately while digging thru other things I've been setting them all aside in a little cardboard box together, which has now become slightly more full than I might have realized?! (and no doubt I'll continue to come across them...lots of boxes of lamp parts and stuff around here that haven't 'been into' lately...)

For the most part these all are little brass bits meant to hold lampshades to their harps, or to hold light fixtures to their mountings. Some still have other little bits of hardware threaded on, one or two are nickel (probably) plated.
