what is this

[cyberdigger]

Here's a close-up view straight down of the inside.. the tube has a somewhat rectangular shape to it..

So, does anybody else want me to send this out to them for a personal inspection, or should I try to dissolve the crud?

I don't ever want to know the real truth regarding this, I'll consider it some sort of David Blaine mysticism and leave it at that...

just a hologram of it should be sufficient.[]

I have a new crazy idea...
maybe this was used as part of a display (like on a liquor store sign) and the metal is a mounting stud.

odd you mention him because his bottle has a rusty metal tube in the base!

I mentioned him because he's a family friend for a long time now...[]
