Good Afternoon A-BN, I've dug 2 or 3 of these things over the years, never in a context with heavy duty glass of carboy capacity. I have dug them in close proximity to vitrified pipe, however. My guess, at the time of digging them, was that it was some sort of cap or plug for piping. I've searched up and down trying to find a carboy pictured with this type of "stopper," to no avail. I've not seen pictured a carboy with any kind of wire bail, either. I have found various rubber bungs and asssorted caps/stoppers that are geared to fermenting. The large capacity acid bottles that I have seen, up to about 6 pint capacity, all had glass stoppers. If anyone can produce a picture, or good description that involves one of these type objects and a carboy, I'd be delighted to see it, and will go back to sitting on the edge of my seat.

RE: Side - 1/25/2012 4:21:55 PM    Wheelah23 Posts: 4300 Joined: 8/9/2010 From: Glen Ridge, New Jersey Status: offline I dug mine right next to a very large broken demijohn. The mouth diameter of this thing had to be 3" or 4". The size and shape of the ceramic thing was the same. But I'm just realizing, mine might've been glazed. Tom has it anyway. _____________________________ Looking for bottles from Glen Ridge, Montclair, Bloomfield, Orange, East Orange, West Orange, South Orange, and if I like 'em, any other bottles from Essex County NJ!

RE: Side - 1/26/2012 6:40:31 PM    VTdigger   Posts: 330 Joined: 4/1/2011 Status: offline I found a bunch of these at a dump from an old textile mill, not much glass at this dump, but what little there where huge shards, I dug a side peace of some sort of bottle, I thought was a buried insulator until I pulled out and it was a shard of a big bottle.  I always wondered what they where. _____________________________ If there is a bottle...
