What's That Thing: The Strangest Finds. Issue 210

We regularly come across things that we can't immediately identify. All these incomprehensible things excite the imagination and torment us with doubts, but here, as always, experts from the Internet come to the rescue, who easily and quickly solve all the mysteries.

1. A metal cylinder with holes and rods at the ends



This is a toilet paper holder.

2. Antique nightstand with three mysterious holes on the side



Looks like something from a hairdresser or beauty salon. The holes on the right are probably for curling irons or something similar.

3. A small metal stick with moving parts



This is a cufflink from a tuxedo set.

4. The handle is hollow, and if you unscrew the brass handle on the side, you can see a brass rod running through it, coming from the handle on top



This is a shoe brush with a built-in reservoir for cream. The small brass rod screwed into the side is some kind of needle valve for slowly applying the cream.

5. What is this dog-shaped thing? It's heavy, maybe made of lead, and has two metal rings on top



This thing is for pulling out a tangled fishing lure. It slides along the line, and the weight helps to free grass and such.

6. A strange wooden stool with loops, trimmed with leather



This is a camel saddle, sometimes used as a footstool.

7. A small wooden square box with metal ornaments and four empty metal containers with holes inside



This is a multi-ink bottle that holds 4 different colors of ink. The design of the containers prevents them from leaking even if they are upside down, and in the recess at the top, the ink will be at the bottom of the tray.

8. What is this metal stand with rings near the school parking lot?



Skateboarding stand.

9. A metal thing with a cork handle on the end. About 20 centimeters long, with a depression at the end that looks like it could hold something. The tip unscrews and you can put something in it



Handles for a fishing rod.

10. Found this at my grandma's house, I don't know what it is, but when you turn it over, it makes music



This is a musical wine cork.

11. A blue rubber or silicone tag attached to a ribbed ribbon

12. We've had this thing for as long as I can remember. Wooden part with springy metal tip
