    Without clarification from the designer it’s impossible to tell what the intention is. If you’re gonna come in and act all high and mighty about it I expect you to actually pull up the patents and prove it. Otherwise you’re doing the same thing as the original poster, only you’re also a hypocrite.

      Okie dokie.

      Evidently I wasn’t clear enough with my aphid faced faucet gnawing stuff. I was overresponding for the sake of comedic effect.

      But considering you asked so nicely?

      Here’s the patent for an ‘Oyster Pail’. These things were designed to hold Oysters or other things by using simple blanks that could be double walled for strength and with a closing lid that could prevent containers from sloshing around. There’s actually even more history about it! You can check it out for yourself! How?

      Well, you know, there happens to be this magical thing that was created a few years back. I know it hasn’t made the full rounds but you should check it out! It’s called ‘The Internet’ although I’ve heard it referred to a few different things. Turns out it has this huge repository of information that you can find! It’s really cool!
