THIS ITEM IS A SILVER METAL STOCKING HOLDER.  IT IS IN THE SHAPE OF A CHRISTMAS TREE.  THE CUT-OUTS IN THE TREE ARE ALL HOLIDY THEME ITEMS...SUCH AS...THE TREE TOPPER IS A STAR THEN DOWN THE TREE THERE ARE....A SET OF BELLS, STOCKING WITH TEDDY BEAR STICKING OUT OF THE TOP, TWO CANDY CANES WITH A BOW TYING THEM TOGETHER, A FRENCH HORN, ICE SKATE, CHURCH BUILDING, A STICK HORSE, A VIOLIN, A PLAIN STAR, A SLED, TIN SOLDIER, A FLYING DOVE, A WRAPPED PRESENT, AND ANOTHER HORN WAY DOWN IN THE CORNER.  THIS IMAGE IS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TREE.  THE BOTTOM HAS THE RUBBERIZED STOPPER SO IT WILL HELP KEEP THE STOCKING HOLDER FROM FALLING OFF THE FIREPLACE MANTEL OR SHELF.  

MEASURES 6 1/2 INCHES TALL X 4 1/4 INCHES WIDE (the Christmas tree bottom branches is where it is the widest).  THE PLATFORM WHERE THE TREE IS SCREWED INTO MEASURES 3 1/2 INCHES X 2 5/16 INCHES.  

I BELIEVE THIS PIECE TO BE OF A PEWTER BASE AS A MAGNET DOES NOT STICK ON IT.  THIS PIECE WAS IN MY OWN CHRISTMAS ITEMS AND HAS BEEN IN STORAGE FOR THE PAST 12 YEARS.  SO I WOULD GUESS THIS ITEM TO BE OVER 20 YEARS OLD
