It Looked Useless… Until I Turned It Over

I wasn’t expecting to discover a piece of the past that day. I was, let me be honest, killing time at this Goodwill, sifting through the usual graveyard of soiled mugs, dead mystery cables and the lonely rollerblade that lost its sole mate. You know the scene. But then I saw it — this tall, delicate glass thing with a gold spiral wrapped around its belly. It seems it would be akin to the delicate, blown glass oil lamps of yore.

At first I thought it was a strange champagne flute. You know, one of those “artsy” ones you never really drink from (but keep around to impress those guests you don’t like.) But the top was barely open. You know, a jellybean might be able to squeeze through.” I was standing there holding it, puzzled, when it occurred to me:

It was an oil glass diesels oil lamp. Or part of one — the base of one, lacking both the wick and the little holder part up top. Still, I was kind of in awe.
