Mystery solved post haste: Grenade like object a 'frog'

Pretty sure it's a frog used to hold flowers in the arrangement "just so". My grandmothers had them, have seen them in glass, looks like great pen holder. --Page Candler
Page: Thanks. It surely is a frog, as you let us now so quickly. Wow! Thanks for sharing the expertise.



That was about what I was fixing to say, but they will have all manner of sport if you are wrong, on these things.

I thought it was an old timey, humane hand grenade which would fragment on impact. and cause a world of astonishment for the victim, without killing whomever it might have hit.

Then, perhaps it had been bigger, a bamboo torch holder. But the size means you must be right. - EW
