On the other part, before the glass part, it has PAT. Nov. 8, 1904 Nov. 22, 1904 Have you ever seen one before? I have tried to look it up on the internet, but to no avail.

Also at that time sailors were bringing back alot of that type of stuff from newly opened ports in China. Can't say what it's worth. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ http://www.bornagainamerican.org (in reply to Brenda_T) Post #: 7

RE: Has anybody seen one of these before? - 3/6/2006 2:32:22 AM    bottleboy311 Posts: 173 Joined: 11/22/2005 From: Central Florida Status: offline Information from the US Patent Office Web Site show that there was a patent # 00774251 issued to Havey Hubbell of Bridgeport Connecticut on Nov 8, 1904 for a "Separable Attachment Plug". From reading infro from the Patent Office, what this patent is for is a new type socket for an Edison Light Bulb that was more durable, lasted longer and was safer for underwritting than previous sockets. So the patent date has nothing to do with the ship and stand. What you have here is an item that was made out of other items. Looks like someone took an old light bulb and a socket and build a ship in it and threw in some wax to make it look like it is in the ocean. The date has nothing to do with the item. It could have been made in the 20's, 30's or 40's when some body replaced an old electrical socket and did want to throw it away, so they used it for an art project. It is sure is an interesting item. Did anyone sign it anywhere?
