Topic: Mystery glass item, help needed please

[davidfish1212]

Hi, I bought this at the weekend out of interest more than anything, does anyone know what this might be? It stands about 15cm high, it is quite heavy. I imagine it it hangs from the loop but for what purpose? Has any one seen one before and how old might it be?  Any information would be great, thanks in advance. D :sc:

light pull?

Or toilet flush pull.

Hi David,  as my Dad would have said.......'If you wanted one of those, it would be just the thing'.!! :ha:

The problem with light pulls and the like is that they tend to swing about and bash into walls, perhaps not the ideal application for glass.

A whole host of them hanging might make a nice display or sculpture.

It's also huge for any sort of pull

fly catcher !!!!!

Just thought i would have a punt at it

Seriously tho i would say it was the middle piece of a wind charm. Ping it and see what sound it produces then imagine lots of smaller ones around it doing the same

Thanks for all the ideas, I think it is too big to be a toilet or light pull, the wind charm idea is a possibility BUT it is very heavy and has no real ring to it when you ' ting ' it, it also has no marks to suggest it has been struck by other bits of chime ( or in fact anything ). Now a fly catcher? how would that work?
Cheers everyone :thup:

Could it be some sort of fishing weight used for a net?
