Claim 0:
1. A container comprising:
a hollow body having an interior configured to contain one or more objects and an exterior configured and operable to perform a circumferential measurement of a dimension of one or more members, wherein the dimension of the one or more members is associated with the size of the one or more objects to be contained in the container;
wherein the hollow body is defined by two major surfaces spaced by at least one minor surface, wherein a point or edge on the at least one minor surface defines a first datum, which, in use, is located against or adjacent to a corresponding second datum on one of the one or more members; and wherein the at least one minor surface includes exterior markings, wherein the markings are indicative of a measured circumferential dimension;
wherein the at least one minor surface defines a rolling surface that can be engaged with and rolled around the one or more members, which facilitates measuring a circumferential dimension of the one or more members wherein engaging the container with the one or more members and rotating the container along the rolling surface from the first datum point or edge around the one or more members to be measured provides a circumferential measurement of the one or more members, wherein a rolling action is completed when a point on the at least one minor surface aligns with the second datum, thereby defining a rolled distance, wherein markings at the point on the at least one minor surface represent a measured circumferential dimension of the one or more members, which measured dimension facilitates selection of an appropriate size object.
