What IS This Thing?! You Won't Believe What People Found Online!

[@sarahstrong7174]

The glass thing that someone referred to as "the sticky thing from a morter & pestle", is not a pestle, it is not shaped quite right, it looks to me like it may be a stopper for a carafe or vinegar jug. We used to have a jug with a stopper that looked just like that.

[@d.l.harrington4080]

I agree. It looks like a ground glass stopper for some sort of bottle.

[@bryanlasermagiktyler3132]

anytime somebody refers to something is a sticky thing or a thingy thing or anything like that you know they have no clue

[@QueenSunstar]

I was thinking butt plug.

[@Moonmaedyn]

At 3:01, that looks like a top to a decanter, not the mortise pestle.

[@9Tailsfan]

Example. A fancy whisky bottle. Or a perfume bottle.

[@athenathegreatandpowerful6365]

​@@9Tailsfanmore likely for a wine carafe.

[@dragoncubes1074]

Glass isn't good as a grinder.

[@ellicooper2323]

Was going to say that. Thanks.

[@9Tailsfan]

@@athenathegreatandpowerful6365 that too.

Silver tweezer thing is a strawberry huller aka fruit tweezer. I have one in my kitchen drawer. 😂

[@dgallagher55]

Love these. They are fun and interesting.

[@canderson8533]

The Victorian nail buffer, the wood part, is missing the split-skin, chamois cover. That's what would buff up the shine on your bare fingernails.

[@pamelaspooner7183]

That small metal almost tong-like thing is not for holding papers together but for opening cans with pop top lids. Before the adoption of the style we have now, the ring was hard to grab and pull completely off, hence this little invention. The ID was solved on another channel like this one.

[@athenathegreatandpowerful6365]

Hun, it's a strawberry huller. They still sell them on Amazon.

[@dragoncubes1074]

@@athenathegreatandpowerful6365 Really? Looks too big to be a huller.

[@ellicooper2323]

I was thinking strawberry holler but then there’s a little spikey thing so now I don’t know.

[@marybrewer2203]

The “mortar and pestle sticky thing” is actually a stopper for a glass decanter. I tried using mine as a mortar/pestle thing and got glass shards in my food. Do not do this!

[@jamesberry9632]

Looks more like a butt plug

[@loriking3707]

The Stainless Tub next to the Jetted Tub is not for Plants... it's for Ice and Champagne.

[@dragoncubes1074]

Or for washing feet?

[@missymedina5375]

then why doesn't it have a drain...ice melts. Unless it's removable?

[@bioLarzen]

@@dragoncubes1074 With no drain though? And roughly at waist height?

[@DMPB-fi2ir]

3:14 too funny it's the sticky thing in a mortar and pestle .... dont agree it reminds me of the perfume stopper i used to see on aunts bottle

[@valkyrie1066]

Ah, we love this game at the local flea market. Nice videos of exactly the kinds of questions we have. We found a footbath from an old house, a tiny tub with it's own faucet and drain...wasn't that a good idea? Why did we stop doing that? I'm old enough to identify about half of these things. but I always appreciate a challenge!!

[@bonnitaclaus2286]

My first mother-in-law has that very same looking item. It is missing the shammy. This is used Buffe the nails. There was a mirror brush and comb that went with it and a few other items I can’t think of what they were. They all look the same in the pattern on her make up table. I believe she bought it with her from Alton Illinois up on the Bluffs when she got married. Again, my first mother-in-law had this thing. It was beautiful in brass or bronze, always shown beautifully in the sunlight. And she used it all the time. The part you brush the crumbs with had some cloth on it. I remember correctly. It is missing part.

[@bioLarzen]

It would help if you made it clear which item you are talking about - a time stamp for example would do wonders ;)

[@Ketutar]

9:45 I thought it is an ashtray. It looks very weird to be a spoon.

[@cobra-mn745]

6:32 is a combination can and bottle opener given out mostly at Christmas for promotion, notice the advertising on it. Remember those triangle can openers, every can containing liquid used to require one to open it or you might lose a finger using a knife

[@teresacartwright5406]

The miniature bed warmer - if it has a long handle; however, if the handle is short, it could also be for a device used for emptying ashtrays into (at one time I had one - now I can't find them).

[@dragoncubes1074]

It looks like a souvenir.

[@johnme7049]

I don't know what that first one is but whoever said 'Blinders' never set foot on a farm.

[@valkyrie1066]

From a working horse farm. I've never seen ones like that, but horses were treated a lot...more harshly in the 1800's. It looks... punitive, not calming.

[@johnme7049]

What it 'Looks' like is Bondage/ S & M/ Kink. Or perhaps an attempt at female chest armor for video game/ Renaissance Fair roleplay.@@valkyrie1066

[@slimhanson2483]

That style of blinders was used for pit ponies in coal mines. Eye protection.

[@johnme7049]

@@slimhanson2483 I'd like to see a photo of them in use. But the chains/ straps just don't look like something that goes on a horses head. :)

[@slimhanson2483]

It has the ear piece on top of the head stall and the chains are for the lead...it's not complete.

[@bioLarzen]

Two people finding the same mysterious object in rental flats at 1:00 and 9:10... what are the chances??? :D

[@forsuresullivan]

the towel thing is to put around your neck to have a towel ready while working in the kitchen

[@maryvanslooten8930]

Ok, at 2:34 it looks like a single egg steamer.

[@iggydee]

I thought the first one was for the mother in law.

[@bioLarzen]

For the first one - the museum had no info card on the object they had on display???

[@bioLarzen]

I'm higly doubtful about the explanation of the last item - it says it's a tub toy for children, and the numbers are just there so "the kid can practice counting". Dunno what this actually is, but it looks 100% like a measure, with clear measure lines on both sides of the numbers...

[@JoyKOz]

Love them too... hate the small video format👎👎👎👎

[@bioLarzen]

I wish the automatic selection algorythm this - obviously automatic - channel uses to harvest content from reddit/boredpanda/facebook etc. somehow was smart enough to detect when the answer is just a specualtion or guess, not a factual answer, saving us from a ton of incorrect "answers"... but I guess it would be an unfair expectation towards AI at its current level of sophistication :)

[@maryvanslooten8930]

It's the sticky thing in a mortar and pestle? Really?!

[@dragoncubes1074]

Nah. The glass piece is a lid to a nice decanter.

[@donaldparmer5268]

That's a old can and bottle opener before pull tabs

[@ivanleterror9158]

Camera case looks like for the Polaroid Land Camera. Always enjoy these but this one has quite a few repeats.

[@9Tailsfan]

Looks big enough to put a phone in.

[@bioLarzen]

@@9Tailsfan It's big enough to put 2-3 phones in ;)

[@sherylepolglaise2662]

I agree

[@drbluzer]

I have never seen most of these .
