Dude. Internet detective here! I fucking love it.

I might have to see if there's a way to make this a thing. I post random antiques, see if Hubski can solve them.

I'd be down with that. I'm still bracing for somebody to emerge and tell me how wrong I am here!

Pfft. Right or wrong, all I really care about is the discussions that evolve from these things. I mean, this thread is only six comments deep and you, me, and kleinbl00 have touched on folk medicine, glass making, gems, and swindling. That's a pretty eclectic mix for such a small number of comments.

True indeed. That website, by the way, has a big section on glass insulators. I went back to the antique threads linked at the bottom and you mentioned that you liked such things. Maybe you can ID the ones you have.
