   Last week, Gerald B asked for help identifying a kitchen tool he found in a   
   house museum.  We had many comments on the FaceBook page, and some via email,   
   including one from Pat H: "The item is a fruit jar wrench in canning.  I found   
   it in a kitchen collectible book that I have.  Pat" Some suggested it was for   
   oil filter removal, adding that perhaps "...mom stole to open jars".  Thanks   
   for all the feedback!

   Jasmen sent in some pictures of a golden colored, stemmed goblet with this   
   note:   
   "Hello, could you please look at the attached pictures and let us know if you   
   might know who made this glass.  my grandmother has given us a set of them.    
   they measures 8" tall.  cannot see any markings on them.  The inside has   
   almost a smooth elongated diamond pattern.  Out side has single flower on   
   three sides.  any help on this would be greatly appreciated.  Thank You in   
   advance.  Jasmen"   
      
   It looks like our followers once again helped to identify the pattern.    
   Beautiful pictures!

   has:   
   "I have a complete set of Yorkshire made in Staffordshire England genuine hand   
   engraved ironstone.  it has the man with 2 horses and the hay with a man on   
   it...  does this sound familiar?  and can you tell me more about what i have?"
