Any Idea

[hunt2day]

I found this about 7 inches down in what was an old orange grove. It is some kind of trim I think and is mad of copper. It is about a foot long. Any ides would be welcome.

Part of a lamp or light fixture that holds the globe?

I'm betting since that was in a grove it was the top ring of a smudge pot. They were used to keep the fruit groves warm at night if there happen to be a cold night.

To me it looks like the part of a kerosene light that holds the glass chimney or globe.

You might be right. I found some old vintage smudge pots & they were designed different. It probably was to a oil lamp/kerosene lamp.
