I could agree with you, Mike, but instead I'll just say that a snow
shovel in SOMEONE ELSE'S hands is a thing of beauty! ;)

Let me introduce you. Mike, this is a good snow shovel. Good snow
shovel, this is Mike. He's not going to be happy about using you, but at
least he'll be able to get the job done effectively with no worries about
breaking you. :-)

The good snow shovel likes long walks on the driveway, being left out in
the freezing cold, and responds really nicely to a little lube. Forget
dinner and a movie, you can get right to action!

Nice find - I think table - rather than planter -
.. the rim seems to suggest table top ..
.. and a planter would drain all over the base ?

Too short for a patio dining-type table. Maybe side tables.
But I think plant holders. And let's not be common. Let's be more sophi=
sticated, upper class.... lends itself to more value. They are for jardin=

My wife would have granite sink cutouts on them before she got them home.

I believe they once held urn shaped planters, but not sure where you
would find replacements. Perhaps one of the big box stores has a
lightweight round planter urn that would fit well enough to serve the
original purpose.

Just about the right side for a hammockside lemonade pitcher.

I think they are for planters. They hold the vessel off the ground. Nice
find.

Nice victorian style plant container holders. Reuse as such or would
make interesting tables with (colored) glass or mosaic tops. My MiL, a
floral nut, would love to stick them in her garden!

Dunno, I've used mine as a long-handled dust pan a few times since we
moved from Vermont. I was thinking about mounting it above the
fireplace as a conversation piece.

First thing that came to mind: glass top tables.

guess it depends on your skills
do you want to repurpose them entirely or keep them close to original purpose

My guess...

On reflection, it's possible were pots with 'em that did have lips to
sit in the rim cutout. Maybe were left out and water collected and
froze and cracked 'em sometime in the past??? I was thinking the table
tops had been broken was reason for the pitchout, but either way they're
a nice piece o' work that could be made functional relatively easily
again...

They are Veranda or porch container holders. Ceramic pots with a rim
sits over the top inset and flows downward but does not touch. They
hang on the top rim.
But alternate use - maybe lounge chair table or snack tray holder with
the other on the other side with a tub of 'beverage'.

One powered by a youngster hired is a good snow shovel.
