Orange glass piece - MYSTERY


So here is a new mystery.  At first glance one might think this a juicer of some sort, however I am not convinced.  I personally have never seen a smooth sided juicer, though I am told they are available to reduce pulp.  However there are 2 valleys in the side where the juice would just run out, no where to collect and pour.

This piece is about 4 inches in diameter, and while trying to clean it i discovered the orange will actually rub off the glass. 

So..... what is it?  All guesses welcome!  By the way, the kids aren't around, so have at it ;)

This one is for honor.... unless you lead me to very convincing evidence of it's true use!

  2. Well, let's not beat around the bush...we all know it looks like some kind of strange device for the breast...maybe it is a part of a discarded Madonna outfit :)...or perhaps it's something to help the little "girls" grow up to be like Madonna's big "girls"! Whatever it is, I'm going to search now!

  3. I too was thinking it was some kind of breast protection cup or something...really I have no idea though!

  4. The mind boggles!

    I'm going to go in the other direction (despite the obvious). I think it is some kind of shade or diffuser for light. Perhaps the orange is many years of tobacco smoke??

  5. I asked my friends on facebook and this is what one of older friends said:

    "juicer with bottom platter missing juice runs into bottom little uprights catch pulp and seeds do half an orange at a time or rehap cup for fingers"

  6. Hmmm.... so will a juicer without the ribs actually make juice?
