The Loj's Hidden Treasures: Part II/X

Whilst my housemates watch Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix (?), I blog about strange objects that have found their way into our house. Such is life.

Part II: The Translucent Plastic 1:12 Scale Rocking Chair




Description: Rocking chair, translucent plastic, approximately 1:12 scale. Approximately .4 lbs, 10" tall, 7x7" wide, Apparently #314 Made in USA on the "Regaline (R)" brand. Whatever that is.

Found: On coffee table in TV room enclosed porch. Contents: none, except my complete and utter confusion.

Analysis: Another one to confound the readership. My housemates told me to blog about it, and so I did. It looks like maybe it is intended to hold large square candles, or perhaps a small plant? I think it has a few potential alternate uses, though, such as a bizarre salsa dish, or rubberband holder. Not sure. When I close my eyes, I don't see this thing in action, I just see it sitting either at a garage sale or on a shelf in a Wal-Mart somewhere along with 300 identical copies that have likewise never been purchased. The faux-wood texture is a nice touch. I somehow feel like this must be associated with Allison, but I have no evidence to substantiate that other than her sly grin, yard sale saaviness, and completion of trip to Hackett's (nee Wisebuys) today.
