Would You Buy This? And Then What??

It's time for another round of Would You Buy It? Junker Newbie Stephanie hosts this party every Wednesday:


and we can ask other creative/informative/helpful bloggers out there about some recent finds. Here's my fun thingamajig for this week:





My apologies for the dark pics - no time to snap a shot during the day. It's labeled Pyrex on the base, and it certainly looks like some type of coffee thingee. There's obviously something missing (the pot and lid) if it's a coffee maker, but would you buy this as is to make it into something?

It would make a really cool display bowl? Or a terrarium? Fish bowl?? This might be a stretch even for the fabulous creative types out there...or not; let me know what you think!

  1. I LOVE this! I think a terrarium would be really cool. Definitely looks like some sort of coffee thingy.

  2. Wow, that brings back memories! My parents used one of these the whole time I was growing up. The coffee pot was made entirely of clear glass, and the part, in the photo, went inside of it.

  3. Looks like part of a percolator. I'm seeing it somehow revamped into a pedastal candy dish....or something kinda retro like that. Keep us updated what it turns into...

  4. Yep. It looks like a coffee or tea percolator. I think a fish tank would be awesome. Get a beta fish because they live alone, and give it a try.

  7. It would be a nice modern twist on the old fasion bubble gum machines. :)
    I'm glad you liked my post on our bloggers day out and feel free to take the lazy susan idea..I thought it was great! they even had a little three tiered table in that peddlers mall for $22...I just didn't have room in my car to take it home!

  9. I like it - I think it would be SUCH a cool terrarium or aquarium! You have such a creative eye - I would have thought it was interesting, but never would have thought of those options, but I think it could look AMAZING! : )

  10. Very interesting! Might make a neat candy dish. I like the fish bowl idea too... maybe with some pretty stones?!

  12. Definitely buy it!
    I like the terrarium idea - or candy dish? Or old clay marbles. Oh the possibilities!
    Can't wait to see what you do with it.

  13. I was thinking that it could be filled with jellybeans or jawbrakers or something. You could also possibly, wire it up to become a lamp. And then put a fish in it.

  14. Incense burner! Or a scented candle hurrican lamp.
    That thing is neat, and I would have bought it in a flash!
