 | | You may have seen spittoons at local antiques shops and just assumed they were vases or pots or something. |
 | | While they range from the pocket sized to that of a trashcan, most spittoons are shaped like bulbous, squat vases that taper in at the neck, then flare back out again at the top to the rim. |
 | | Some, like the pocket spittoons, were made for portable, personal use, while many of the larger industrial-sized versions sport the logo of the Union Pacific Railroad, the Pony Express and so forth. |
