Hand of Glory has dated this piece to the Victorian era.
The words Fire and Fly are not typically conjoined.
The integral cast mount is unusually sloped so it wasn't fixed to a vertical flat surface. Later mounted on two wooden blocks for display. Some slight warping on the right hand mount and wear and scratching overall commensurate with its industrial life.
