Found these in my mothers estate. They look like they were to a lamp but I have searched high and low and cant find anything similar.

Have to agree on the lamp part's.but it's also ''Slag'' Glass.
-
My first inclination was a lamp....however, was there a plate also with it?
Could have been a more "casual" tier server! Large base on bottom, plate on top, "vase-like" piece next, medium plate then, smallest piece of slag, then small plate and bolted through all with a single rod.
-
Could those parts or some of those be onyx rather than slag glass? I am voting for lamp parts also.
-
hmm im starting to think it might be parts to an old ashtray stand.

Yes, up2no6ood, it looks like you may have nailed it! Any chrome parts lying around?
-
yep just the tiny piece that goes between the two pieces :( I gotta dig around some more the rest has to be somewhere!
-
Yeah! Nailed it!!!!

Akro Agate was noted for making glass pieces with those "swirls" in it and was also a big producer of marbles.
If you find a marked piece the "mark" will be "a crow flying through a capital A".
Akro = "A crow" ;D
So, its possible those above pictured pieces were made by Akro Agate but probably are not marked as such if they were.
