Object among those contained in the metal supply box. Large metal upright for supporting the lid of a supply box (same as the two supports found in the large wood supply box). The metal is dark in color, tarnished. Long, smooth, rounded main stalk, bottom end had a short, threaded peg to attach/anchor the support another object (however, the supply box does not appear to have a place where this is possible, it is likely that the support is not original to the supply box). The upper portion of the object has a large protruding band with a ridged outer. The upper end tapers inward, and a small, thin tip extends from it.
