Checkout this little cardboard sign I found at a flea market today. I think this was a safety message put out by the electric company. I love the graphics and duel meaning.
A place filled with green ideas, gardening tips and pictures, animals and nature , music and movies and what ever else may go skipping thru my mind.

What is this brass.....
Whats is this brass item? I recently bought this along with some other items at a auction what is it? I believe it is part of a light, possibly even part of a headlight. This is 10 inches tall. This has two handle which open the door. Notice how it is curved and also notice how it looks like it slides onto another part.
UPDATE!!! UPDATE!!!! UPDATE!!!!!! UPDATE!!!!!!!!
Someone has shown me a picture of something very very similar besides that the one they showed me is not curved. This was definitely an oil lamp, the burner fit up thru the big hole on the one end and a reservoir was under it. I am still not sure what this lamp was used for or on but it is without a doubt an oil lamp of some sort. Thanks to everyone who has helped me try and figure out what this was and please if you do see one that is curved like this let me know what it was used for.
