[QUOTE="yourturntoloveit, post: 26968, member: 57"][U]Beastwa[/U]r (James) -- how large are they? [U]Figtree[/U], you may be on to something. It could be a bottle opener with the bottom part being a "jigger" of some unknown (at this point) quantity/size. ********* Now I'll go ahead and post all the questions I had to start with before (thankfully) the "machine" informed me that posts had been made as I formulated/typed my questions. Are these two separate and distinct (different usages?) items? What are the height dimensions of each? Could they have been somehow (even if a piece is now missing) joined together to form one item originally? In the photos it looks like the rim of the "bowl" of the shorter item is a bit larger in circumference at the "lip" than the tall one's "bowl." Is there a difference in the circumferences of the two rims? Are there any symbols of any sort on either the larger or smaller one? Does it look like either or both had a "clapper" in the past which might have been removed/lost? In the photos it looks like the rim of the "bowl" of the shorter item is a bit larger in circumference at the "lip" than the tall one's "bowl." Is there a difference in the circumferences of the two rims?[/QUOTE]
