The large one one was sent to my grandparents from France over 100 years ago. As they all spoke German, he sent the instructions, written in German. Sadly, I am unable to read German script. I have seen only one other like it-a brief shot of one in a movie long ago. The telephone pole insulators are from our collection.
I think the bottles are drugstore seltzer bottles (per-bottled fizz) and the glass spears could be fishing floats. the netting looks the same as the spears I see used in Norwegian fishing when I'm there ;)
Nice work with the glass.

Nice photos. Brings back a lot of memories when milk and seltzer would be left at the front door every morning. Thanks for a look at history
