threads?

Hi jmd_jett,I am new to this forum but I dabble in antiques some I'm not any kind of expert but I believe that what you have there is a pull from an old dresser drawer or possibly a door knocker. But it seems too small for a knocker though.

The size of the internal threads looks to be either 1/8" or 1/4" pipe thread.
I would guess to say that it was part of a lamp.
A finial to a lamp, possibly.

im with woody . i also think it is a lamp finial. likley from a hanging lamp.

I'm gonna go with huff on this one and say it goes to a dresser drawer.

 

[diggerjeff]

the threaded hole looks to large for a drawer pull, it would accept a small machine screw. it looks like it would accept 1/4 in threaded pipe, thats why i think it is lamp related. see if it will screw on a lamp were you would secure the shade. that would tell for sure.
