      Put them in a windowsill.

      Well first thing is to look them up and make sure you don't have something valuable. Lot of collectors out there.

      I have mine lining three windowsills in the house and have started a row across the front of my rust-garden outside with the latest random bucketful to come along, but those are sorta temporarily there until I put up a couple of brackets and hang the actual vintage telephone-pole cross beam on the patio wall, it has its original little posts and will also make a great shelf for more... (and those that'll no doubt come along in the future...they find me...<lol>)
