Dumaco Garden Hose Washers.
The box says they are red, but they are green.
Status: Borrowed from Mr. OP’s toolbox, so no action required on my part. I have however mentioned that we don’t have a garden hose. Well, technically not quite true, there is the community garden plot, which has a complex system of hoses, but I doubt they are in need of these.

Fantastic – one of only a few properties of the product and it is described wrong! Lovely photographs.
Yes, quite funny. Glad you like the images.
I like these old, vintage package designs. Very often there’s cool fonts to be found on the vintage stuff.
Yes, that’s so true. BTW – I just saw your comments now – they were in spam folder for some unknown reason.
This is why I’m in the spam folder:

Every time I write a comment on a “new blog” (one that haven’t already un-spammed me) I end up as spam.
Aha – I had read that post, but I guess didn’t quite realized what it implied. Hopefully that clears up soon!
