Help identify part.
Hello I came across this and have no idea what it is, maybe you do. It seems to be electrical...
Figured it out. It's a aalco folding antenna. Missing the base, any chance anyone knows where to find one?

That antenna is from the early 1920's. You aren't going to find parts just laying around.
You would need to go to the antique radio web sites..... like antique radio.com
The original company.....
Aalco Radio Laboratories
6336 Cottage Grove Ave
Chicago, Illinois

Long wave antennas were very popular back then. There were a number of different styles.
Now with the internet.... those days are pretty much gone. I've noticed ham radio to be just about a memory.

Wait, where do you plug the internet into it?
Seriously though, it is pretty cool, in an antique-y sort of way
