Do both those 'tubes' on the top swivel?  What is the height........compr essed and extended? 

I'm getting a portable music stand vibe......minus the 'plate' that would hold the sheet music and possibly have posts that would slide into those tubes. 

Contruction methods (close up of screws, etc) as well as a view of the underside may help some here to date it.......whatever it is ;)


Something along the lines of this perhaps...........

If you look at the background items in closeup just posted it is smaller than the original ones seem.

Is this a tabletop stand?  Please list height fully extended!!  Thanks!

Is there any "threading: inside the two top pieces?  They look like candle/taper holders from shape/form.

Don`t think that's what it is Greenacres !! Has the look of early 1900`s !!  What is that pin for ?? Do the top parts rotate or move !! It looks to be on a countertop,, how tall is it as-is ??
