Title: Curious piece of glass.
Post by: fontanazul on October 19, 2014, 12:18:03 PM

Curious piece of glass.  ???
At first glance I thought it would be a desktop object.
But studying their curious details: I have concluded that it is
a piece of glass for industrial use, such as peephole to steam. Borosilicate glass resistant to high temperatures Klinger factory in Austria (perhaps for export to Eastern countries).
Curious piece !! (you'll end up on my desk) ;)

It looks like a wedge for holding a door open.

But that would be a strange thing to have made from glass - it would be very prone to damage through normal use. ???
