Vikings? spam spam spam guys?
this is very interesting, what are you holding back Rob?
you only want to know it's purpose, not it's origin, but people keep going back to it's origin.
also you state that how it came into your families pocession is another subject
Ergo, you know more than you're letting on
( I always wanted to use Ergo in a sentence )
it was used for middle of the night bathroom purposes, so one would not have to venture outside of the dwelling. | |

No, GK.
I want to know its origin!
What is it?
Where is it from?
No. Monty Python!
I want too know, and understand:what and where?

I am more or less just trying to figure out what it could have been used for, if anything.

I haven't read the other posts so that my comment won't be biased on any hypothesis. IMO, it looks like its from this side of the Ocean. Possibly Native American but more probably from Mexico or South America. | |

Which equals, they were never here in the first place.   (Hey, that's flawed logic, but what can you do?)

Looks south or central American. The Caloosa indians traveled extensively from South America all the way up to the Carolinas until they were wiped out by the Spanish slavers.
The next to last picture looks like something on the discovery channel last week re. S.A. indians | |
