Staging Minnesota - KFM Staging & Design

hmmmm ... very interesting!  Seems like something from a century or so ago.  Was it something that was from the Titanic?  Taking a stab in the dark on that one  :)

Kristina ~ My first thought was a wall sconce, but maybe an old time fire extinguisher?  Interesting though, I'm curious now.

 

ummm...a watchamacallit or maybe a thingamajig?

 

Steve

Um   no clue, if it's not a light, then I am stumped.

to me it looks like and early fire extinguisher..

The sad thing is that so many of us Realtors leaped to that thought ..  guess it to many hours of watching Antique Road Show .  We do need a life sometimes

I'm going for a homemade aromatherapy lamp.

I'm guessing a doohickey...or an air freshner....can't wait for you to reveal the answer. 

Yeah, I think Steve has it....it's definitely a thingamajig. Clearly. I can't believe no one else could figure that out. LOL!

the newest type of smoke derector?

To me it looks like an upside down Genie bottle, although at first glance I would think it could be a light.

i think a light fixture.. hurry tell us

Kristina, it looks like a light but it is awful high up near the ceiling. Very decorative too. Please enlighten us.

hmmmm what can it be, at first i though it was some kind of sconce light but after i looked at it closely it kinda resembles a soap dispenser

I bet you that house belongs to a deaf person and when someone rings the doorbejj, the light goes on Flashing. Just thought I gave it a shot!

Fernando you are brillant!! if its not it should be I actually was going to say it sort of looked like a humming bird feeder.

I'm guessing something to do with the weather like humidity levels or something - are there prizes involved with this? LOL

This is easy!  It's a tiny hot air balloon so that the leprechauns can escape from your house on St. Patrick's Day to go out looking for shamrocks!

Well I am thinking some type of unique lamp.  Can't wait for the unveiling.

It's an automatic fire extinguisher w/ alarm - but I can't figure out what the alarm would sound like being filled with water...(love high resolution photos)

Oh crud, someone else beat me to the punch with the guess of a tiny air balloon. My cat's curiosity will not rest until we have the answer!

I'm with Fernando.........I think it's the doorbell-chimer-thingy.

I am with Cari Pilon and think it has something to do with the weather but it does looks like some kind of funky lamp...

Ok, I'm ready for the answer. Others have posted some good guesses. I haven't a clue.

some sort of weather instrument? A barometer? kh

I'd say an air freshner it looks full of liquid...

Heather

Alright - parking - you have me hooked!  This household has guessed what the others have said - soap dispenser and light.  Is that a wick at the bottom?  I say it is an upside down gas lamp but can't figure out the current use unless it is a room freshner......

Hum Kristina. Since you are in St Paul I'm leaning towards something that may have been on one of those big, wonderful paddle boats at some time. I've seen and owned some flower holding wall sconces but this is hung too near the ceiling for that to be a possibility. I also remember seeing some beautiful flower sconces which were at one time installed in luxury cars and it reminds me of those except this one looks pregnant by comparison. So, like many others, I'm parked. Thanks for the fun. 

The only thing I can think of is some sort of antique decorative item that you could put coloured water in - you would colour the water to match your decor?  I know it's a stretch.  I wonder if there is some significance to it being so high up on the wall, but then some people hang their pictures too high also.  This was a pretty wordy way of saying "I'm stumped!" :-).  Can't wait to find out the answer.

 

I agree with Kate, I think it is some kind of a weather detecting device.

Brian Bartley

I think it's an air freshener, because it looks like the ones you see in gas station restrooms!

ok who is going to email her and make her tell us!! the suspense is killing me. It looks like a water bottle or and IV drip maybe it is a designer fire alarm if its an old house they use to put them up high and they were very ugly. I am dying!!!!!!!

An IV drip - hahahaha! Were you a former nurse Maureen?

No but what the heck i was going to say an utter (not sure if thats even how u spell it)

OK since Kristina hasn't answered yet -- here's the answer (only doing this because some of you are so anxious to know!) ...

Right click on the photo and select "save picture as" and then save it to your desktop.

Once it's on your desktop, you can enlarge it/zoom in on it and  you'll be able to read what the label says! 

A FIRE Extinguisher?

Kathy you won the prize!!!

Sorry Maureen, I have been on a vacant stage all day! 

Some of you were absolutely right!  Click here to see the answer!  Thank you for all the wonderful guessing!  It was great to come home after a long day of staging and get quite a laugh from some of the comments!

Kristina,

I read the follow up to this post first and just had to see the bigger picture.

I burst out laughing when I read Maureen Bray's response... 

This is easy!  It's a tiny hot air balloon so that the leprechauns can escape from your house on St. Patrick's Day to go out looking for shamrocks!

Now I want one! 

Still laughing!
