Damn it! I want one now...
I'd never heard of a specimen vase either. It's what the lady who I bought it from called it. It's exactly seven inches high.
I've already tried blowing through it. The sound is awful! It has to be something better than that! :o
Hey peoples! Um, so I bought this thing at the local flea-market... [IMG] It is sterling silver with a weighted/reinforced base. Now I know...

I've been a BIG writer since I was a kid (so going on nearly 30 years now). And I almost always have something in my mouth when I'm writing....
