The lamp holder was manufactured in the late 20th century, and was originally used in Morton's Steakhouse, making it a restaurant table ware collectible. Despite being used, it is in pretty good shape. There is a hairline fracture approximately 1.25 inches long, see pics. In addition the edging around the opening appears displaced, however is firmly in tact. Some patina, rust and scuffs present that add to the character of this unusual piece. The lamp holder weighs 2lb 5.5 oz.CB
