Could have been. ?? Is there anyway of telling?
And, looked thru the catalog file...and Dont see any of those glass "bars"...so, must have been a Different project. Shoot. My brain just doesnt keep Each collection separate! All the stuff I've cataloged over the yrs...blurs into One deposit (ha ha).

Makes me wonder if they were intact bullets or just the shell casings. Young
boys are known for such foolishness.

We found one of those...I think in the U. S. Grant Jr. summer home
dump site
(but cant trust my memory). THANKS for the ID! But How does one
easily SEE thru
those grooves/lines? Guess it wasn't super accurate.
The
summer home was
near a rail spur (Aloha Sta)...so near a rail line.
Also
among the items were
2 Totally smashed shell casings! Finally it occurred to
me. I bet the children
put the casing on the rail to watch what would happen
when the train ran over
it! I couldn't figure out any other way for the casing
to be SO flattened (no
hammer marks).
I'm pretty sure the son collected the
various shell casings
(shot shells too) since there was a collection of over
100 handgun or shotgun
casings of only 1 or 2 of each "brand" (name, like
Climax, Arrow, Magic,
etc.)...along with 107 rifle shells - of 5 makers, mostly
Union Metallic Cart.
Co....of 8 different firing pin
marks.

It's
a sighting to view the level of water of
a boiler we have one collected
from a
railroad logging site.

ID'ing a glass
artifact
Hi
all,
We recently found an unusual glass
artifact associated
with an early
to mid- 20th Century logging town that was
used as a sanitarium
after the mill
shut down, and refuse deposits from the two
periods are
mixed.
We've put
some pictures of the glass artifact on our
website- if
anyone has any idea
what this might have been used for or a part
of,
we'd
love
to
know:
http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Environment/CulRes/Compliance.htm
Dimensions
are
on
the website-it's a thick, oval-shaped bar of clear glass, with
ridges
molded
on one side and "Made in Germany" etched on the other. It
looks
like
something industrial-a lens for some kind of light, perhaps, but
we
haven't seen
anything like it before.
Thanks,
Scott S.
