This vintage metal item is a unique addition to almost any collection. With its worn and rusted exterior and unknown history, it adds a touch of mystery and intrigue. The item features a primitive design with a steampunk vibe, making it a great decorative piece for any room. It measures 3.25 inches by 3 inches and has a rustic charm that would fit well in a farm, ranch or urban setting. While its exact date of creation and origin are unknown, it is an original piece that embodies the essence of antique primitives. This metal item is a great find for any collector or fan of shabby-chic decor.

Only marking is the numbers 494 stamped on what seems like the inner facing side.

Features one small hole at top, a rectangle cut out at the middle and a curving row of five square metal teeth. Tiny shelf-like metal at top of center rectangle. Reaching out to the outer side and opposite direction as the curve of the row of teeth. 

Very interesting piece.
