Old Fanner’s Riddle: What has no beginning and no end, but
has a center? (Answer below.)
Ask the Old Fanner: A friend
recently received a cut glass
“pitcher”. It’s about 6" high,
4 W in diameter, and has a
sterling silver rim. As there
is no spout, it isn’t really a
pitcher. However, it does
have three handles. Do you
have any idea of its use?
M.C.D., Chicago.
We may be way off base on
this, but it sounds like an old-time “toddy glass,” which came
in various styles. They hauled it out when the minister called,
and everyone present took a swig.
