keykeeper Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Ok, first off, if the person selling this is a member here, sorry if I offend you!!! Take a look at this auction, and tell me what you think. 100% GLASS ANVIL BLACKSMITH FARRIER LIGHTNING ROD -TOOL - eBay (item 260512387484 end time Dec-04-09 10:16:18 PST) Lightning rod my butt, it's an Avon perfume bottle, which is VERY common, married to a few pieces to make a "lightning rod". Bet it would hold up well under harsh wind, rain and-he he-lightning! I couldn't sleep if I sold this to someone without divulging the true nature of the components. --END OF RANT__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrankow Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Avon bottle or not it appears to be what it is advertised as. The bottom and top of the bottle are probably drilled out, making a continuous rod. The description also lists it built around a UL/ANSI listed lightning rod and base hardware. While I think it is a neat idea, I'll pass anyways. Sadly their website is flagged by google as a malware site. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 You mean you don't want that for Christmas or you don't want to pay that much for it? Was it P.T. Barnum that said there was one of these born every minute, a fool that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrankow Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Gift or not I don't have a good place for a lightening rod on my property. Maybe when I build a new garage or pole barn, maybe. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRunals Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 could they have had a longer description for that hunk of junk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
