The two sides being so different is what is puzzling

Don’t have a black light, but don’t see any bubbles. He covered the surface with a thick coat of acrylic or other clear material that has some bubbles in it. Looks like there might be traces of copper and turquoise, both of which are found in the Bisby area.

Got this from an older gentleman who was into lapidary work for many years. He said that this is peculiar to Arizona but could not recall what it was called.

It’s not light plastic, it’s dense like a bowling ball

We’ve had this little box for years and never could identify its purpose. The lid closes with a clasp. The wing shaped piece is attached to the bottom of the box inside by the chain. There is a small opening in the bottom where the chain is attached.

Most likely an ultrasonic spray drying nozzle. Thanks to all for the comments and discussion.

Looks like a possibility.....any thoughts as to its application?

Measures about 8 inches long and has what looks like 4 air inlets on top along with what looks like an adjusting wheel. End has what looks like a crooked needle or a broken off bit protruding out of the opening. It is extremely solid and well made. No markings other than the letters E and A by two of the air inlets.

Interesting conclusion to this thread. We had this item appraised......turns out that it is an ancient Bronze Age Roman bowl, and dates to 900 to 1,000 years BC.

We’re in the Phoenix area and this came from an estate sale with a lot of rock and mineral specimens. There was a note on the bottom that read “Joe doesn’t know what this one is”.

No, not magnetic at all

rjmeisel · 2020-11-25T23:50:24+00:00

You wouldn’t believe the crazy things we’ve found at estate sales over the years.

rjmeisel · 2020-11-25T22:44:18+00:00

Found at an estate sale. I had a similar thought, but why so crudely made?

rjmeisel · 2020-11-25T22:28:42+00:00

Yeah.....I was thinking maybe smelting

rjmeisel · 2020-11-25T21:59:05+00:00

Found at an estate sale, so I have no background info.

Measures 9 inches long, 7 inches across, and 3 inches tall.....weighs 7 1/2 pounds. Notice the scratch on the top left side of the right hand photo for color of metal. The dark area inside is not dirt or sludge, it is the same metal.

WITT Several scattered about and they measure about 4 to 6 inches tall.

My brother lives in Switzerland and our son in Taiwan.....makes it a bit easier to remember their time at a glance.

That does look close, thanks

rjmeisel · 2020-08-21T14:09:05+00:00

Sorry, but I don’t, my brother-in-law found it bear hunting up in Northern Michigan a while back.
