I'm Really Gonna Need Help with This One

Old bottom gated pieces like this defy identification if not marked as to maker in some way.
 
I havent been able to locate anyone in the Knoxvilke TN area that can provide info on what you even call this style of ci. Any recommendations of an online resource for unusual pieces.
 
I was looking for someone locally to have a look at its design and condition.
I know an awful lot of CI was made in my area so one would think there would be a local expert

Plus a lot of pieces were collected in the South Pitt and Benton TN areas
 
that handle is pretty 'distinctive'... unfortunately I've never seen another one like it... so that doesn't really help with identification.

very interesting design though... I'd like to know more about it.
 
It may not be a US piece, but one made in England or France or?, and brought here by a 'traveler'.:icon_scratchchin:
