Here's a picture of the bottles I like from today. A amber Suntex (first one, so gotta keep it), a little "selick perfumer New York, a couple plain ones on the left I just like (nice amber color and aqua color - the aqua one at far left has a funny cork), a really rough (lots of bubbles) Ball Mason, a nice little straight, narrow food jar, and a little syrup-type bottle labeled LACO. And down in the corner....an eyeball!! That's right..more on that below.

So I was digging away, and I looked down and noticed what I thought was an eyeball....

Cool finds! Those glass eyes are worth some money. People actually collect them believe it or not. [&:]

But upon closer inspection it appears to be something else entirely...

I've never had anything like this come out of the dirt! It's not a real-fake one, as the back has a broken glass appendage. Any ideas where this may have come from????

Yooper, what you have there is a blown glass eyeball from a bisque doll head. From the size of the eye, I would say it was for a pretty big head. Here is a picture I found on ebay so you could see what it looked like inside the head.

Hey Yooper and Cap...

Sometimes things do stare back at you...

When I was a cop, one time I responded to a "Burglary in Progress" at a residence on a back road. Back-up officers were in place and I was going room to room with another officer to "clear" the house. I went into one upstairs bedroom and popped open a closet and there was a full sized "blow-up" doll standing in the closet with a "Nightie" on!!!![:eek:]


Damned near plugged it full of holes!!!!!!!!![&:] and that's the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![&:]
