Here is a funny little item that recently sold on e-Bay. Does anyone here know what the heck it is?
It looks like something I should recognize, but I just can't bring it to mind.

I have no idea what it is....but I want it!
My guess is it held a glass lab flask (with a side neck), and was designed to either retain or conduct heat. Copper is a very "even" conductor of heat.
It would hold a flask like this:

It's very cool looking.
