God, now I am stuck, I did not know cheese balls would have the variety of
sizes and people would bother with them that much, so I do concede the possiblility Kevin wrote in message m... ever see one of those big cheese balls at a party or around the holiday season??? my mom used to cover them in these types of dishes. I wouldn't call her a cheese fanatic but what else would you cover a big ball of cheese in and still be able to see it? they have lots of different sized cheese balls so i would assume that would account for the various sizes. I have even seen cheese logs covered with what would look like an oversized butter tray if it didn't have cheese stuck in it. i am going with cheese cover too. just my 2 cents. kevin b "TS" wrote in message ... No, you are right I am not getting the answer because, unless I am missing something besides some cerebral matter, I can't imagine them to be cheese covers unless someone was a cheese fanatic. I did get a couple ideas, one person thought they could be small plant covers---they 9Tthe glass) come from a farming community and another thought they could be candy dish covers which makes some sense. As for chinese sex, someone came up with that too, but I think the great chairman discarded the devices after he in spoke in falsetto. Glass goes beyond color, there is something that likes glass whether we know it or not, we can see through it, bend images, drink from it, make pictures and even have a glass of beer; and I vote that everyone, even the one's who are put off by my innocent inquirey, go to the cabinet, pick up a glass, pour some beer gently into it, watch the bubbles and enjoy the life that only glass can bring. Bottoms up! Javahut wrote in message ... "TS" wrote in message ... Though your response is obtuse, who cares, and parsing sentences is a useless excercise--and I am usnure of the handles part except they have a stem, so what the heck are they? I mentioned the attic part to imply that I think they are old ie prior to 1930. I don't really know though---so just help with the solution why don't ya? WHY? You have already been told too many times and your not getting the answer you want... OK, they are extremely rare sexual devices with an ancient use by people with millions of dollars that will pay millions for them. Is that more to your liking? Get out there and auction them off, put a really high reserve on them and then when someone tells you they are cheap cheese dish covers you act surprised. As I will be if they sell.. |

Could you recommend one?
C Ryman wrote in message newsCMfd.5126$8R.4396@trnddc02... This newsgroup is about working with glass - stained glass, fusing etc... We don't collect manufactured glass. So our guessing is as good as yours. You made need to find a glass collectors book to find out for sure what they are. -- Connie Ryman Cryman Studio "TS" wrote in message ...

Can anyone identify what these are? Glass domes with handles? We found them in my family's attic in the case thats behind them. Doesn't change the obvious, still glass domes with handles There are 6 glasses in all. Is there any value to them? Nope, none for an Oxy Moron, thow them out. Does that do anything for the etiquette? Usenet less frequently, and only when YOU want something. |

Right on top of the vacuum plate. The $4.99 ball winds up the size of an egg. Jack |

Looks like you can use bell jars for plant covers. I was looking at
this website http://www.jamestownglasshouse.com/Reproduction2.asp and the third item down is a replicate of a bell jar. it says: "Bell jars, also called "cucumber" or "melon" glasses were used in the 18th century in both Europe and America by gardeners to protect delicate plants from the cold. English horticulturist, Sir Thomas Hanmer first documented their uses in 1659. Most were made of the same dark green glass that was used for wine bottles. Stands 9-3/4" high" I thought that was weird. Kevin B "TS" wrote in message ...
