Hello everyone, I have been trying to figure out what these are, or belonged to. The bottoms are not alike. They seem to be cut off of something maybe a flag pole, or fence post? There heavy for a small piece they measure about 5″x5″ I have two of them. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

this has been in the family for over 100 years. It is about six inches high and five inches in diameter and has a ring attached to the base for insertion of index finger to carry it. The cover comes off and a votive candle can be placed on it. A vent hole at the top allows the smoke to escape. It has been called a “fairy light,” but nothing I’ve seen on Google comes even close to this. It has no markings for date or manufacturer. Can you identify it?
