I found these little "things" in a box of odds and ends on a recent picking adventure.
I am thinking they are some type of electrical insulator but the little metal pieces at the top have me perplexed. So far Google The Great One has provided me with no information to go off of.
The glass is very lightweight and the little metal wire loops are pretty delicate.
They were too neat to go back in the box so I thought they would make an interesting way to display some old family photos.
I *heart* the goat and the wagon...
I must have a goat someday....
Whatever they are, they are pretty interesting.
If anyone knows what they are, I would love to know!

I have no idea! The wire things look like an egg separator, but for some reason they remind me of something from an optometrists office.

I haven't any idea either but I like the work that you have put them to!! Love the photos from your last blog, of the children. Think I'm your latest follower. Joan
Well, whatever they are, you used them in a fun way!
Wow, they do look like an insulator, but have never seen anything like them. Perfect as photo holders :)
I'm thinking along the same lines as you. Not sure though. Whatever they are I love them. Great conversation piece for photos. I have a goat and a wagon pic with two of my sisters inside and another one standing by the goat. I was too small and didn't get a ride. I don't ever remember seeing our goat, named Billy; of course. Thanks so much for sharing this with Share Your Cup Thursday.

I'm clueless too. It's a real stumper but it looks great the way you are using it.
I sure don't know what the original use was but it makes a great photo holder. Wonderful idea.

It's a vintage photo holder :) just being silly! I don't know either but you found a clever way to use them. Have a good weekend!
Never seen anything like them - and when you'e been knee deep in junk as long as I have, that's saying something. What a fun find and the perfect repurposing of them.Love your blog!
I have no clue what they are but they are fabulous photo holders. Love the fan! I have an old fan for sale in my booth. I've decided to keep it now!
I'm your newest follower and can't wait to see your next creation.

My hubs thinks they look like metal insulators too, but don't know what top is. But I love them, and I now have to get a goat too! Also love the color of your fan. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration at Sunday's Best!
How cool are these? So unique! Would love to know what their original purpose was, but they are perfect for their purpose now!!!
I have no idea what they WERE, but it's pretty obvious what they are meant to be now-- photo holders! Love your clever use of them. ;-) Thanks for linking up to Refresh Your Nest Friday!
I searched and searched to find what this was, but no luck. I think it is so cool, so I featured it on Restyled Sundays.
Thanks for sharing.
Did you ever find out what these were? I won't sleep tonight if I don't know.
