PATRON TEQUILA store display cage

Here's a fun 'new thing' today, courtesy of a friend who ended up with it at his home but didn't really want it there. Goes to show, there's seldom any harm in asking about odd things that 'appear' unexpectedly in other folks' environments...?? <LOL>

It is a floorstanding steel 'cage' in the shape of a PATRON bottle, complete with the (styrofoam in this case) stopper handle ball and with a clear plastic label sign attached to one side. (temporarily with zip strips) I am PRESUMING it was intended as a store display marketer and that the bottles will actually fit between its bars (a bit over 4") but I don't know that last part for certain, only that none of the bars seem to be movable in any way. A quick photo search on the Googles returned bunches of different Patron displays but none of them looked anything like this one, I don't know what to think about that...??

I'm also slightly uncertain what I'm going to *do* with it -- at the moment it is my newest patio decoration but I might not want to leave it out there for fear of getting it all rusted up...?

-----------UPDATE, and an answer to the mystery question I never actually added here----------

Right after I first showed this thing, including my presumption that Patron bottles were actually able to fit in between the bars of this cage display, I took my tape measure to the liquor store to try and confirm that -- ultimately proving myself kinda wrong with that guess. In fact, the bottles themselves would just barely fit thru the bars, EXCEPT THAT they also all come packed in cardboard gift-boxes -- and those boxes are maybe an inch *bigger* in every dimension than the actual bottles -- thus could NOT in any way actually be squeezed thru the bars of this thing. After (again) scrolling thru hundreds of Patron display pics online and (also again) finding none like this one, I just shrugged it off and moved on to more important questions/acquisitions of the day. ;-)

THEN, just the other day when I was out on the patio doing something else but looking at it again (read: using it as a handhold to step down off the patio beside it) I finally noticed a detail of it that I'd not ever spotted before -- the new pic4 I just added here shows that detail, which also most-satisfactorily answers that 'how the he** did it work' question I never actually posed here. ;-) :-) :-)

That new pic is the center bar on the backside of the cage. NOW I finally see (look close!) that there is actually a short collar piece on it right under where the bars all start to bend inward together towards the top, and an even shorter little collar/socket at its bottom where it meets the base plate. And whadda'yaknow -- those extra little parts on that bar are actually there in order to let that straight lower portion of (only) that bar to be slid *upwards* just a little bit, which in turn lets its bottom loose from the baseplate socket, and then it can be removed entirely making for *easy access* to fill the whole cage with tequila bottle boxes.

The only remaining question now, I guess, is how a potential customer was supposed to figure out how to get a bottle back out of it in order to buy it...but I guess that'd be the responsibility of the store clerk...?? <LOL>
