Found this while digging a privy. The bottles are circa 1890. This has holes at both ends. A bit larger opening than what I thought it would be for string like a bobber. No clues tho. Any guesses? Thank a lot. Jgas. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1534988335.664829.jpg
 

A Christmas ornament? (We had some like this when I was a kid.)
But I don't think that's really what it is?

"Pregnant straw" is probably out too. :)

I think it may held some type of medicine.

With the slanted ends, I have a visual of tubing attached - some type of lab glass? Condenser for essential oils or such?

I figured since it was in a privy its gotta be a medical purpose or bulb for a syringe type thing. Who knows. Mole I think you are on to something. jgas
