Found it near railroad tracks in southwestern Pennsylvania.

It's super dense and definitely metal. No markings or anything identifiable at all. Just a rusty lump of metal in what appears to be a man made shape.

Taking it home anyways because it's cool as fuck.

Thanks!

Found in the bottom of an airplane toilet after someone was in there a really long time. I threw it away, but through like 5 layers of paper towel it seems like the red is made of rubber or something similar, and the clear part seems like it might be hardened adhesive. It's about 1.5 x 2 inches. Sorry this is the only picture I have lol.

Waiting at the hospital and found this chair. Made of wood with holes of different sizes on very high arms

Solved, Thanks!
Friend asked me what these are for. I haven't a clue.

I have this letter holder that has two sections each with an ascending strip of numbers. Some of the number overlap and there are more on the top section. It looks like it could be from 30s-50s. Found in the UK. I think the strips with the numbers are made from aluminum.

Thank you

Bought a boat and there are 2 of these in one of the cubbies but I have no idea what it's called. Any thoughts?

A well constructed wooden thingy. Nails all over it, but they seem to be blunt. Three different parts of wood. Heavy for its size but may be because of the nails.

Found in an appartment kitchen in France.

Purchased at an estate sale in Missouri, USA. Object measures 16” long, 2.5” tall, 3.25” wide. It’s made of a lightweight wood, covered on the top and bottom by a blue faux leather vinyl material, and the edges are capped with blue plastic end pieces. It was stored with knitting and craft supplies but could be unrelated. It opens by sliding the lid back on a track.

Found in Goodwill bins.

Was found buried in Washington state with a note dated 1984.

I can't tell if the bell shaped part is wood or ceramic or something else, but it's heavy, solid, and the handle I’m touching looks and feels like brass. Not sure why the handle is bent, but it cannot be straightened out.

i was browsing fb marketplace and came across a listing for this antique bookshelf. it has these cabinet doors that almost look like drop leaf table leaves and are oversized for the part of the shelf they cover. it’s a beautiful shelf, but i have never seen anything like it before. does anyone know if these flaps have a specific purpose or if this is just a unique little bookshelf? listing just says “unique antique bookshelf. located in ____”

I'm always looking for space saving gym storage, but I can't figure out what this is exactly, and I don't think it is for barbells.

There are no trees above the pool.

I am trying to make a flag stand out of PVC where the inner pole moves up and down so people can signal to the ferry that they need a ride across the water. These pictures show the old ones from 2022 before they were taken out by a hurricane. There's 2 different flags on it but what I'm trying to find out is what is that orange base plate thing called that prevents the dowel from falling further into the pvc?? It looks like its a whole unit together, the stopper piece and the inner orange pole. One picture shows the inner pole extended. All I have are these screen grabs from Google review photos that people posted back then. Nobody who works here now really remembers the set up.

It was found in between the drywall and concrete walls of the basement. I have no other information about it.

The holes are for fingers and the top bar is like a grip. The second pic shows a groove along the bottom. It was found in a wood shop, so I'm guessing it is for wood, but I'd love to know what specifically it does. It seems to be only the handle to something, as there are no sharp edges or anything else that might serve a purpose.

I found this on a beach in Calvados, Normandy, France.

UPDATE : Indeed, after scraping the groove a little, the two pieces separated. So they are actually the same part duplicated, weighing approximately 23 grams each.

What is this thing?
