There is no such thing as a good snow shovel... I could agree with you, Mike, but instead I'll just say that a snow shovel in SOMEONE ELSE'S hands is a thing of beauty!  |

I was thinking about mounting it above the fireplace as a conversation piece. |

Perhaps one of the big box stores has a lightweight round planter urn that would fit well enough to serve the original purpose. -- Digger |

They are Veranda or porch container holders. Ceramic pots with a rim
sits over the top inset and flows downward but does not touch. They hang on the top rim. But alternate use - maybe lounge chair table or snack tray holder with the other on the other side with a tub of 'beverage'.

https://goo.gl/elPME1 Jim Nice victorian style plant container holders. Reuse as such or would make interesting tables with (colored) glass or mosaic tops. My MiL, a floral nut, would love to stick them in her garden! |

Maybe side tables. But I think plant holders. And let's not be common. Let's be more sophisticated, upper class.... lends itself to more value. They are for jardinières. Sonny |

On reflection, it's possible were pots with 'em that did have lips to sit in the rim cutout. Maybe were left out and water collected and froze and cracked 'em sometime in the past??? I was thinking the table tops had been broken was reason for the pitchout, but either way they're a nice piece o' work that could be made functional relatively easily again... -- |
