This Item was found while scuba diving a few years ago. I have no idea what it is or where it came from exactly. I would love to know what it is and what its worth.

Re: Found while scuba diving in St. Thomas Virgin Islands
Have you cleaned it? It does not appear salt affected? It appears to be of an old or ancient design. Odd. Solid or cast hollow?
Re: Found while scuba diving in St. Thomas Virgin Islands
I dont think its been cleaned. My father said it has a small hole n the top, almost if it was a pipe or something like that. But we arent sure.

So the metal object is hollow with handle and a spout. What is the size?
Consideration: it may have been used as a water dropper, with the extra hole to place a finger and control the flow. Such droppers tend to be small holding an ounce or two of liquid.

I posted more pictures for a better look.

Great. The face medallion is like a logo. Can you get a focused closeup of that detail?
Re: Found while scuba diving in St. Thomas Virgin Islands
Ive been doing some research and I found out a few things. I found out its called an Aquamanile and I think its from 1800s Europe (I think Germany). I dont know how it got to St. Thomas or if its even worth anything.

I have even seen some that were oil lamps. Its missing a few pieces.

So your thinking the object is European, great.
