I searched (under "Hobbies" & "Crafts") and couldn't find an applicable thread for this question/problem; but figured this is probably where some of the craftiest Dimmers congregate. So, if anyone feels this should be moved, please PM as to what I need-do.
Otherwise, this View attachment Front.jpg
View attachment Back.jpg belongs to "a friend of mine" and was broken by some carelessness on his own part. I really want to attempt "fixing-it," as some sort of (as-yet) undefined rhetorical gesture; but, no less-so, to really see what I can do with-it. The picture, sort of, shows the two main pieces of what some of you would recognize as the glass lamp-casing that would normally sit atop an antique-style gas-pump. I'm pretty sure it's just a replica, so I'm not really worried about "ruining" the pieces somehow. But I really want to figure out how to best fit all remaining pieces (those two, plus ten or so much smaller chips here and there) together so as to get it to form a (relatively-more) sturdy and less fragile whole that I can safely display on a shelf. Have any of you attempted anything like this before? Any product or technique-based recommendations? Is this an opportunity for me to acquire and pretend to know how to use any specialized tools, such as an appraisser's loupe or, at least, some serious-looking tweezers. Perhaps a little pointer-like thing as some use on Antiques-Roadshow?
