A test for the best

[Greengoose]

You guys/gals are the best, so here is a little test. I know what they are but I bet a number here might have thrown them away when found.

The one on the left is made of a poor grade of pottery. The other two are of a good grade white glass.

Rob66 you were close they are the lips of old stoneware soda or ginger beer bottles.Why would they cut them off and without any chips??

 

[Kas]

Don't know how they cut them, but, I bet they used them for shot glasses.

Seeing as they look like tops of bottles they would be hollow all the way throu

Ah, my bad. I was thinking a top/cap.

You're right. Strike that comment.

Hi,
My 2 cents - or nonsense - worth.
Cut down for candle holders - or
props/separators for objects in a pottery kiln

Cheers, Mike

 

[Greengoose]

These were not cut down, but made as you see them for a reason. There is also a clue in the pictures.

Will post the answer on Wednesday the 12th, if need be.

Were they for playing quarters?

 

[widgee]

Could they be Electrical insulator from the old Knob and tube wiring

Gaming pieces. Skittles

Your clue is the powerlines in background. I believe these are insulators from a old powerplant. We have them in a powerplant in my area.

I don't see any threads on the inside, so that kind of makes me think they are not insulators. Do the holes go all the way through? In one pic it looks like it does.

Hole liners for playing silver dollars, same as washers, only you have to have more skill.
