Small Brass Piece??

Could this be part of an oil lamp or lantern? Found with the AT Gold in the same hole with a Hemingray no 19 glass insulator.

That's the top cap from an old light bulb socket...It had a pull chain on-off switch or a turn handle switch

That brass piece is junk, but some of those glass insulators are collectible. Hemingrays made a ton of them for over 100 yrs.

Definately cooler than the bulb socket. If you foubd them together, likely because some people use the insulators to mak3 lamps or pendant lights.
