Skip diving find: Chinese bronze stands

Bases for something seems like the most logical use. If you look closely at the view of the bottom, recesses around the holes are visible, probably where a nut or bolt would have sat.

 

who tosses bronze.........they're wonderfull !!!!!!

 

Hi,
I agree they are just FABULOUS!!!!!!!! I have several vases I would stick on with quake wax. They are beautiful.

WOWSERS!!

 

I'd be bottoms up in the skip right after you! They are wonderful!

 

was my first thought too. those Chinese dawgs with red tongues hanging out. perhaps there's a whole Chinese restaurant down there ?

 

Yup, skips go to tips.

not knowing what else might be in the damn skip is killing me......

 

Took the words right out of my mouth! (LOL) I'd want to know if the foo dogs from these survived and what the **** ELSE was under all the rubbish! And who'd toss bronze? The holes look mechanical, but even if they're just made to look old bronze scraps for a good bit. The cleaners threw even the easy money into the trash; you have to wonder what other dumb things they did.

 

I might phone the local traveller scrappie I know...

 

Not Davie's dawg? I bet the scrappie would love to dive that skip too! Ther might be all sorts of copper wire in there if they're gutting the place.

 

Me too
Halas mine is strictly monotask...
While we were watching a Charlie Chaplin silent movie, I asked him a question... no reaction...
I repeated, just to hear:
"I didn't hear you, I was watching the movie"

 

There's a couple of old lawnmowers on it, with cable, so scrappie would love that.

 

That is some serious monotasking.

 

Me thinks perchance a pair of Fu dogs/temple lions.

 

A you need is a couple large Imperial Jade foo dog statues. They are in the bottom of the skip. I'm sure of it.
