Color:Rust Material:Metal Maker:Un Known

     Two old explosion proof glass globe safety cages measuring about 7 3/8ths inches high with a 3 3/4 inch diameter open end showing rust and patina but still in usable condition. These are the wire cages that are commonly seen in industrial areas, warehouses and along train routes. Good replacements for a missing or damaged cage and according to one local rat rod owner make great 20 oz soda bottle holders. No kidding he has two mounted on his dash using a homemade bracket mount. You gotta think out of the box when you own a Rat Rod right ! You live there, I ship there, ask questions, not returnable and thanks for the view.
