Not sure what you had in mind Lynne....

but quite apart from that this thread had me wondering whether anyone knows what this is for....it is about 6" tall and open at both ends. I do know - but it is a bit obscure, so there might be a prize for the first correct answer!

Goodness!!!

Maybe a baby feeder? With a rubber teat on one end and a small stopper on the other?

(trying hard to keep my mind clean :oops: :oops: )

Plumbob?

Now, for my prize I would like your biggest, most expensive piece of glass, Adam

Cord light pull? Nah, maybe not... 6" is a bit big for one of those... how about a loo handle pull from one of the old-fashioned high cisterns?

Nowhere near, I'm afraid

Good idea, but way off!

loo handle pull

interesting lateral thinking but too lateral, although we do have some rather nice loo pulls in the studio, but not like this! :lol:

Keep trying, you can have multiple attempts, Dencill!

Hmmm a door handle part, perhaps? Or how about one of those funnels used for trickle watering plants in pots? Or a reservoir for a bird's water bowl (keep the base in the bowl and it keeps the bowl topped up). Or a lampshade for an unusual type of small bulb lamp-fitting?

Somewhere in there you're getting closer, in a way, but not much closer, really

It is an Aaronsoon creation for causing frustration on the GMB.

It was created in my studio, but it is a working reproduction of something that has historical value....and I know that they made them at Whitefriars and probably other factories as well!!
