Neat find while antiquing

Thought :marseymindblown: it was some Illuminati :marseypharaohcat: shit or at least a functional desk ornament :marseychristmasbulb2: I can drop on my head when the need arises. Turns out it's a deck prism. They used to cut holes in ship decks, slip these badboys in, and it diffuses light :marseysignaling: from the Sun for safe lighting around flammable cargo down in the hold. Reminds me of that guy who used the same concept for poor communities :marseyoctopus3: with water :marseyarchie: bottles in the ceilings of their sheet :marseyghost: metal :marseypunished2: shacks. Hmmm, wonder :marseygigathonk: where :marseydrama: he got the idea from, hmmm. Anyhow, neat find.

Zero chance it was ever used on a ship though. I ordered one of these as a kid, probably from an ad in popular science or something, and it looked exactly like this one. First thing I ever spent my own money on lol.
