Default Help Identify Early Ford V8 Collectible

I bought this piece of early Ford V8 memorabilia years ago at the Pomona swap meet for $25.00. They made at least two of them because a few years ago there was another one for sale on ebay.


It stands 7 ¼ inches tall, has a nice Ford script stamped into its base and was originally silver plated. The tube has what looks like a broken off white candle inside of it but when I poke at it does not feel like wax, its solid like plastic so I don’t think it was designed to hold anything. Anybody have a clue what these were used for?


Thanks, Jerry

I have no idea what it is used for, but it is pretty neat.

I have no clue, but I love it !
I might guess, that it is a centerpiece for a FORD company banquet table and held a flower. ??????
