conFUSED what do I Hdo with these? 2ND EXECUTION - 10/25/2006 7:12:28 PM    bikegoon Posts: 671 Joined: 10/2/2006 From: Lebanon, Ohio Status: offline 2ND EXECI inherited a bunch old really cool looking very old Glass house fuses. They are glass and made by companys like G.E. - SNAPIT -Eagle. Other than setting them up on fence post for long range .22 rifle practice, do you guys think they are worth eBaying? Any info would be great! < Message edited by bikegoon -- 11/29/2006 12:29:06 AM > Post #: 1

I like the idea of using them for target practice, though. _____________________________ Woody (in reply to bikegoon) Post #: 2

I've got a pretty good shot with an open sight .22. Picked off a woodchuck at 150 yards.   _____________________________ Life is easy with your eyes closed. (in reply to woody) Post #: 3

With all that other crap selling pretty well on ebay, maybe he should throw it on there. The trick must be to put a high starting bid on it and tell everyone how rare it is today to see a home using "antique glass " fuses. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to bikegoon) Post #: 5

I noticed the newer ones are metal capped, with a small glass window. I take it the glass could burst on em. (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 14

It'll only make the ones that you find in 200 years that much more valuable. Maybe try ebaying them first. If no one buys then get out the .22. Swizzle (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 15

RE: conFUSED what do I do with these? - 11/13/2006 8:30:37 AM    bikegoon Posts: 671 Joined: 10/2/2006 From: Lebanon, Ohio Status: offline Yup, think that is what I will do with them. But if they do not sell on eBay , Capsoda really seems to not like these being a firefighter, so.....I could ship them to him for a ritual like fuse slaughter Put them thru different trials like the car tire test, the torch test, the vise test, the .50 muzzleloader at 5 yards test.

I think I would take one to the hardware store and match it up with the proper size pvc pipe and using your basic potato cannon instruction make a fuse launcher. Then have a buddy launch it and yell pull and try to shoot them as they fly through the air. But that's just me. Swizzle (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 19
