My initial thought was that it was a flag pole topper. It seems the right diameter at the base for a flag pole.

It doesn't strike me as being an American-made item. We've had a lot of strange Eagles but not one like this.

Hello Jerry. I m not totally familiar with all the variants of desk eagles but my though s are this one is post war. The eagle doesn't appear to be any one I can associate to any TR era organizations. The casting line that intersects at the body and continues up over the head is unfinished. And the swaz and interior space around the wreath looks rough cast. If it's heavy that I wouldn't suspect it's a former flag pole topper. And the shells contradict the desk ornament theme. It's a good looking piece for display however and if the price was right I d of bought it to. But JMO others may know definitvely? Best regards.

It was only $100 gamble
I'd of probably taken it to, if it was put in auction I d bet it do as well. Best regards.
