Sorry to have set off such a shit storm with my redneck comment. I made it as a native of the Carolinas, where backwoods people aren't necessarily seen as ignorant rubes but also respected for the adaptive ingenuity required to live life on one's own terms. Thinking outside the box comes natural when you ain't got no box to be trapped in. But then I'm also a lefty college professor, so there you have it.

Hey Fred!.. perhaps someone on here never heard or studied anything about the Great Depression to know what you are talking about. And yes, that is what people would have done back then, when they would "use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without". | ||

I lived through the Great Depression, it ended after a few cocktails and some good sex. | ||

It's a ..... chrome, tail piece section(plumbing), the top part. The bottom piece is part of a chrome P-trap sawed off, ...probably 1 1/2" both by the look of it, but I have no frame of reference to go by.
