Looks like an old magnifying desk lamp on a cantilever arm set.

The base (not cylinder) is exactly the same pattern as the two I have.

this looks just familar enough that I know I ought to recognize it, but I've
been pondering it for several months and I still don't know - I'm sure that
a bunch of you folks will immediately recognize it. (note there is a .txt
file also, with dimensions - the key dimension is that it holds a 1 3/4 inch
shaft/rod/tube/whatever)

any clues?

I've never seen a desk lamp that mounted with the 1.25 inch cylinder - is
this possible? Could be an enlarger base I suppose like some suggested, but
the enlargers I was familiar with were pretty heavy and I don't know that
this would hold one - but that is an interesting possibility.

oh, one more hint, but not much of one - the casting says B&J .101 on the
inside edge of the curved part - does that clue anyone ?

Well Done Sir..well done indeed!!

"[L]iberals are afraid to state what they truly believe in, for to do so
would result in even less votes than they currently receive. Their
methodology is to lie about their real agenda in the hopes of regaining
power, at which point they will do whatever they damn well please. The
problem is they have concealed and obfuscated for so long that, as a group,
they themselves are no longer sure of their goals. They are a collection of
wild-eyed splinter groups, all holding a grab-bag of dreams and wishes. Some
want a Socialist, secular-humanist state, others the repeal of the Second
Amendment. Some want same sex/different species marriage, others want voting
rights for trees, fish, coal and bugs. Some want cradle to grave care and
complete subservience to the government nanny state, others want a culture
that walks in lockstep and speaks only with intonations of political
correctness. I view the American liberals in much the same way I view the
competing factions of Islamic
fundamentalists. The latter hate each other to the core, and only join
forces to attack the US or Israel. The former hate themselves to the core,
and only join forces to attack George Bush and conservatives." --Ron Marr

B&J sounds like "Burke & James" -- a photographic company. It
could support one of the cheap enlargers like I started with, or a copy
stand for supporting the camera above a copy board.

Enjoy,

outstanding!!!! excellent work, Steve - I'm really impressed - but then
again I was pretty confident that someone would come through.

Don't know what I'll do with that info now, but at least I know what it fits

my hat's off to you (though I rarely wear a hat, it's off anyway).....

thanks.
