Ball and Claw - 6/13/2004 11:19:26 PM    BRichardson5   Posts: 378 Joined: 8/29/2003 From: Pacific Northwest Status: offline This find was a bit freaky when I pulled it out of the earth- It's a metal claw holding on to a huge glass ball! It was one of two bases for a piece of furniture that I recovered. The thing is very heavy, as you can imagine. Has anyone else ever found a furniture bottom like this? Attachment (1) Post #: 1

It an odd but a ripper find, don't know what you would display it with though. (in reply to BRichardson5) Post #: 2

It looks neat and its quite heavy. _____________________________ J.D (in reply to BRichardson5) Post #: 3

That was forty years ago but I remember them clearly - they were quite unique! (in reply to BRichardson5) Post #: 4
