I got this guy for $0.00 while out antiquing (my term for antique shop going), it was sitting in the guys garden, yet it seems like he WANTED to get rid of it. Strange, wouldn't you think every guy would want a 50-100 Kg monster of an insulator in his garden? My mom and I are planning to turn it into a bird bath base, I came up with the idea, and she loved it right away, we are thinking about putting a concrete basin, which we will buy from a friend of hers who deals in the concrete pouring business, on top of it. You can see the outline of the steel blue DWIGHT 143 on top, the sun is bright, though, so it is difficult to see. This guy stands 28.5 inches high and 14 inches in diameter.
