1764. Submitted by a visitor who is looking to find the purpose of this item, the jar has no bottom but is ground perfectly flat, it measures 5" diameter x 12" tall, the brass fitting is 3-1/2" x 11", the tube measures 5/32" I.D. and is grooved as if a tube would be attached. Brackets at the ends of the arms apparently would clamp 1/4" rods.
