unknown, Something !
I recently got a group lot and this was an unknown passenger. It measures 54" tall and my best guess is that it is a torch of some kind or a huge bong. Maybe for burning sage to cleanse an area?
Any guess would be helpful! |

Interesting piece indeed. Not a clue as to what it is but if you could find someone to translate the Mandarin/Cantonese it might reveal it's use.

Thanks, JeffS, that certainly is the item.I must be missing a part or 2, because I don't have any moving parts to pump water,etc..Possibly a nozzle?

Interesting. Used with a bucket of water or something?
Suck water up, spray it out then repeat as necessary, like a bicycle pump? . |

It must be a component of a larger item or I am missing some parts. I am assuming that the smaller tapered end is the nozzle. There aren't any moving parts to allow a pumping action nor any venturi ports and the larger strainer section isn't threaded to allow it to be coupled to a hose, etc..
Maybe a hose is slipped over the strainer end and then it is either worm-clamped or wire-fastened onto the apparatus, making this a fire nozzle? Last edited by drac2k; Today at 01:41 PM. Reason: add info. |
