I had a job in college delivering those for the FB Jones Company, the
company that made most of the ones seen in the Boston area. Ajax was
another brand.

Holds a trash can, so you don't have to look at it.

Unfortunately, you end up having to lift a heavy can out of the ground,
which is why I believe they fell out of favor.

O.K. The images are confused a bit by whatever was in the
background. So I have some questions:

1) Is there a hole through the stems.

2) Do the tops come off? It looks like it might be a ground-glass
stopper fit with silicone vacuum grease making it appear to be
a single piece.

3) Is the bottom rim a ground glass surface?

If the answer to all three of these is "yes", than I think that
what you have here is a lab manifold for connecting a single
vacuum source (coming through a cast iron or steel plate) and
connecting it to up to five different objects which need the
vacuum. (If less than five are in use at a time, the caps from
question (2) are left on the unused fittings.

A composting pail?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...m11/pic3ma.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...m11/pic3na.jpg

The first question is "why are all of these images rotated 90
degrees CCW?

The next question which comes to mind is how round are the
holes?

Also - is the bottom lip ground or just heat smoothed?

If the holes are round, and the bottom lip is ground, these
could be vacuum containers -- though very likely to break, so I would
consider them to be very dangerous in such use. If the holes are too
irregular to accept a rubber stopper, then perhaps it is for
introducing a flame (a lit splinter) into a gas mix in the tubes.
Exactly why is a question to be answered by whoever had them made to
start with.

This vase was in the box with the other tubes, it has a finished bottom and
12 holes on the top
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...m11/pic3nb.jpg

Hmmm ... another rotated image -- and too dark as well.

Perhaps stems of roses come in through the holes to make a halo
of blossoms around the glass?

For cutting some round object to length. Obviously not glass,
as there are no burn marks from contact with hot glass.

Enjoy,

I sent this photo to an insulator collector, he had all different types of
them on his site but he had never seen this one before, so either it's a
rare insulator or maybe it's something else.

Well, are they hollow and are the ends actually removable? I thought it
was just reflection/refraction, but the second picture makes me think
the laboratory vacuum manifold of another respondent would quite
possibly be a good call if so...

They really aren't well-shaped for the purpose of an insulator as I look
again as well as it would be unusual for there to not be additional
support. I'm thinking I jumped to conclusion too quickly...

Wow, that was a pricey item for that era. That amount in 1950 dollars

It does not seem to be your photos. Apparently Norton does a quick scan of
the entire site and puts up a fear and loathing message for the issues it
finds. Be the same thing as one or two YouTube videos with viruses. What it
says is that Photobucket is not real careful when they inspect uploads.
Perhaps they don't inspect them at all.

Sounds like this theory is probably correct, Photobucket is the most popular
image hosting site on internet, hopefully they will be able to get this
problem cleaned up.

Rob

I heard back from Photobucket concerning Norton's virus warning, here is
their reply:

"We've tested all of the images/links that Norton was giving that warning
for, they are all fine on our end, the 'bloodhound exploit' error gives us
reason to believe that Norton may be creating false-positives here due to
elements in the image files themselves."

So the bottom line is that there are not any viruses connected to any of my
images.

I can remember wearing a motorcycle helmet with a face shield to milk
goats because some horns looked hazardous to my eyes if the goat turned
its head. I was also wary of getting poked in the abdomen while
catching goats in a pen.

Dehorning may be injure an animal, and horns may grow back. Besides,
horns can discourage menacing dogs. A horn that was no sharper than a
broomstick would be less hazardous. Could this tool have been to remove
the point from the horn of a kid or calf?

What is it? Weekend edition
 

Often young bulls are de-horned when they are young.
They tend to but heads and explore their push strength...

In feed pens it is also done. Don't want a lot of cut up cows
or gored cowboys or their horses.

It is just smart. Naturally a paste is applied on the open end
that helps kill any fungus or fly.
