    glass ring4.jpg Found these at a sale. They are glass rings. They lay flat on a table. Have no clue what they are. The house had a lot of items from 1870s through about the 40s. Anyone know what they are? I'm completely stumped. Thanks! glass ring compressed.jpg

    Amazing, Don!
    A Google of "glass drapery rings antique" or "glass drapery rings" shows some likely suspects.

    I agree that these are likely used to hold drapes away from the window and to each side.
