I found this thingy in my privy dig in the back yard. It was in good company with 189 medicine bottles,stain glass,and sevral metal objects. It is about 31/2" wide at the Largest end and the funnel like top is not hardly 1/2" and the funnel end looks like it has been filed off or something. So what is it?

Was there a nub that may have broken off the top?? If so , Maybe it's a lid to an apothecary jar or a jar that held straws in a soda shop , etc . ?

The top doesnt look broken it looks like it has been filed on the small end I thought it might be a funnel for putting pills or liquid medacine into bottles.

I put up a couple more pictures but it is hard to photograph. The small end looks work so much it grainy and white.

It looks like a glass funnel to me. The small end is ground smooth.

Okay it isnt anything like the fly trap thingy. Really. I guess the pictures are as good as I thought. Thanks Papa for the fingernail compliment. I was wearing gloves part of the dig. I didnt at first I was too excited when the first Coke bottle came out. I didnt think of it until I started finding bottles with medicine still in them and it stank so bad :

Maybe it's the business end of an antique Breast Pump that's been cut off....

Hey, I know what that is! :P Reason I do is mom caught me playing with Grandma's breast pump one time, tanned my hide... It's the glass part of a breast pump.
