Metal thingies --a bit Bertoia like...

Found "As Is" at the GW. Obviously missing something. They "ring" when the bounce into each other. Additionally, one of the pieces has separated from the rest. Figured if I couldn't pin down who/what/where, I could always use for lawn art.

Oh, also they were taped with a penciled-in note from a former owner that said, "Find a large vase for these." (Not that this note helps with the ID...) Apparently the person who donated could not come up w/a large vase. A vase for these? What do you think?

 

Id find a stone base,I remember these from somewhere,but darned if I can pin it down.I keep thinking 70's?

 

That's what I remember them from too, Johnny!

 

They look like yard art. Will chime when the wind sways them.

Look in the high end garden catalogs.

 

i don't know if chime is the right word.....these can make a racket !!!!

 

Thanks all. Not sure how I'll use these. They all play the same note: C#

 

put it in the back yard....it'll scare away the critters.....

 

and annoy the he!! out of any close neighbors....................

 

LOL, Mansons. I'm not a fan of loud windchimes either. Luckily these are very gentle with just a single high note-- kind of a "ping!" sound.

And I'm actually thinking of taking the whole thing apart for more of a visual art piece, so you are free to move in next door....

 

when it rains they will hold water...and little song birds will flock to your yard!!!

(Just kidding. We do have a cat, but indoor only! Come on over, birds!)

 

EXACTLY?

 

Wind bells. 70s or later.

 

That was supposed to be a ! not a ?
