Re: metal bowl unknown!!
Ah this brings back memorys. My grandfather had one of these as well. Its a cigar ashtray. They where made by blacksmiths circa 1880-1915. The little hooks where to hang the cigar cutters. Mostly these where used by brothels for there clients to have something to hold there cigars in. A interesting find, i would price it at around 100-150 american dollars at auction.
