I was told that this might be an umbrella stand. I'm not sure. It stands 21 inches and is about 10 inches wide. I cannot find any identifying marks on it. It looks like copper. I did some Internet searching and found virtually nothing.
So, here are my questions.
Question 1: What is it?
Question 2: How old is it?
Question 3: Where did it come from? (eg, country, type of household)
Question 4: Should I clean it or leave it in its natural state?
Question 5: What is the estimated value?
I would appreciate your assistance.
Thank you.
