What IS That?

• DAVID PIERCE –

In the October 2020 issue of Owl Light News, I issued a challenge to find a rock my Dad was standing on in a 1930’s photograph from Naples, NY.  To date, the rock has still not been located.
(See owllightnews.com/in-search-of-a-rock to join in that challenge) 

I am now issuing another, perhaps easier, challenge.

Can you identify this object?

While hiking in the Town of Canandaigua recently, I passed an old dumping site from a long-gone farm.  This object, that was half buried in the dirt, caught my attention. The metal object is approximately 4.25 inches square with a red cut glass, faceted dome in the center.
I am thinking if may be the top or side of a larger item.

I am offering a $100 “prize” donation to Hospeace House in the name of the first person who can identify the object and can provide an image of an existing, intact unit that this metal object is a piece of.

Happy Hunting!
