   Here's a reprint of an interesting story from February 2002:   
      
   Just a note to let you know how I started to collect salt cellars.  We were   
   visiting family in South Dakota and they had quite a few antique pieces.    
   These included picture frames, a desk and some other items of interest to me.    
   We had a van and two boys and I thought I was going to be able to bring some   
   "stuff" home.  Well little did I know that after a visit to the local   
   fireworks stand, (fireworks we could not get in the west) Every available   
   square corner of our van, every nook and cranny was stuffed with guess   
   what???  I was in fear for my life the entire trip back.  If we had been hit   
   with something we would have exploded into a million pieces.  I only had room   
   on my lap to bring home 4 salt cellars which were the start of 100 piece   
   collection.  It's been 25 years since that trip....Carol   
      
   If you have a story about an unusual collection, your best yard sale find or   
   how you started your collection, drop us a note. We may publish it here.  Send   
   your note to support@tias.com   
      
      
   Can anyone help identify what this is and what it was used for:   
      
   "It is heavy metal, 3 1/4 inches tall, the back is scooped out and I can put   
   my finger through the band on bottom and out the hole, the protrusions in   
   front on sides are marked with a capital D"
