“What is this oddly shaped sink used for?”

“It’s a prep sink.”

“Scissors with weird angle. Return gift from the bridal shower. What is the use of this?”

“It’s to candle wicks.”

“Set of 9 wooden balls. 4 black, 4 brown, and one smaller brown ball.”

“Lawn bowling set.”

“Small leather piece with straps and adjustable buckles.”

“It’s a boot strap!”

“Round brown things with holes in them lining a small waterway.”

“They are artificial reef balls. They are there to create a ’living shoreline’ to prevent erosion.”

“Easily malleable metal, with diamonds in the center. I have four of them, and they were all rolled up.”

“These are cuffs for braids and locs.”

“Two red and blue patches titled ’came the yawn’ and ’one eye closed here’.”

“Bookmarks! Put them over the corner of the page, words facing the page you’re on, to mark your spot!”

“My friend found this on her coffee table. It’s made of metal and bracelet-sized. But no closure to put on.”

“It’s a tie chain.”

“This chain inside my door? It connects the door to the frame and can easily just be pulled out of the door.”

“It’s a concealed door closer (and it’s broken).”

“Plastic baggie with maybe pillow batting inside it, zip-tied closed around an air hose.”

“Grunty thing from inside a dog toy.”

“A silver spoon with ’top’ part?”

“Seems to be a medicine spoon.”

“Plastic clear tube with a flanged end with movable orange ball tip found in woods.”

“Looks like a venom sucker from a snakebite kit. I have such a kit, though I use it for mosquito bites.”

“Found in the oven after cooking Thanksgiving meal. 3 inches, solid, light, stiff.”

“It’s a melted pen.”

“A kitchen cabinet made of metal in a house built in 1951. I think the kitchen was remodeled in the 70s. We are trying to figure out why it’s vented.”

“Maybe to hang tea towels to dry off. The grate will be for ventilation to help dry them without them getting musty.”

“Found these tiny white balls with faces on them.”

“Looks like it’s stink-bug eggs.”

“Found in the seem of my work T-shirt sewn in.”

“It looks like it’s just an RFID chip for the laundering company”

“Came home to find this device attached to my front door covering the key lock. What is it and what should I do?”

“We’ve removed the device. It’s an anti lock device to pull out or detach locks, so it was an attempted burglary. Thankfully, they weren’t able to enter.”

“I found this egg thing at a beach. It floats in water and is really hard. Also the text says Maxer.”

“It’s an egg surrogate. I’ll use chickens as an example. Sometimes when my chickens lay a fertile egg, they get broody. So my wife will take one of these surrogates and carefully switch it for the real egg and take the real egg to the incubator. That way, the angry chicken can still feel like she’s sitting on her egg, but there is no need to worry about damage due to angry moody chicken”

“Metal shards inside the shower head of the place I’m renting? What are these and why are they in there?”

“Surely they are solder from copper plumbing. If you overheat the pipes while soldering, long strands like this can form on the inside. Definitely a sign of improper soldering, if that’s what they are”

“The drop-looking thing is bottom heavy and the wheels turn on the black thing. I can’t seem to understand what or how.”

“It’s from a product called an Infinity Hoop. A sort of hula-hoop with this weight on it.”

“A teacher I work with found it at an antique shop in Wisconsin. A wooden device maybe for stretching something or measuring?”

“Actually, this is now so commonly confused as being a hat stretcher, that they are now reproduced and sold as ones. And yes they can be used as such, but they are not originally designed for this purpose. And this antique one wasn’t made for that. To add to the confusion, the real name is also similar. This is actually called a band stretcher. This device locks inside a brim block and holds the material tight inside the block while it is steamed. The size indication is a safety feature meant so you do not overstretch and break your brim block.”

“What are these things? They are cast iron and found exactly like this.”

“I farm and can answer this: they are teeth from a tractor bucket. Here’s a link to the one like this”

“Leather strap with 2 cup-shaped objects, probably lead, attached with holes in. Found in a 16th-century English farm house.”

“They are called horn trainers or horn cups.”

“A 7-inch wooden post in front of toilet. What is it?”

“We finally figured it out. Outside this picture is a shower with glass door, the post is a door stop for the shower door.”

“This slide-looking thing on the playground. It’s raised in the middle, and clearly not a slide.”

“It’s called a saddle slide”

“It’s a lead or tungsten worm weight (for fishing ) wrapped in indicator putty”

“I was given this small silver object as a pre-wedding gift with no explanation. It has small lines engraved on it.”

“This is a miniature sterling silver wedding vase. The nozzles symbolize husband and wife, and the patterns symbolize the couple’s journey.”

“What is this plate / serving dish? It has a handle attached on top and a very small cup in the middle. Never seen one before.”

“For carrying a candle around old school way. No wax on the floor.”

“What is this spoon with a tong-like attachment? Seen in an antique store in Lyon, France.”

“It is a spoon designed to separate the fat from the sauce, called “cuillère dégraisseuse.” You scoop up the sauce, hold the spoon above your succulent meat and depress the spring: the good juices fall through the hole until you release the tension, et voilà.”

“Strange substance appears on kitchen walls. Any ideas what this is? I’ve wiped it off before and it reappears.”

“Since it’s a rental, is your landlord entering and baiting for bugs? When our building had roaches, they would place bait in the kitchen cabinets, and it looked like that!”

“That is definitely what it is! We’ve had German roach problems (I’m moving out thank goodness) but I was never told they’d bait it. Thank you, I’ve been so confused.”

“Found this during a home inspection. What is it?”

“A wasp nest or, depending on where this is, another insect like that.”

“My many-years-old rain jacket has a smooth, somewhat flexible, seemingly plastic object sewn into the upper arm of the right sleeve only. What is it?”

“This is a radar reflector for avalanche rescue purposes.”

“A moonface-type thing was found buried 6 inches in my yard.”

“It’s probably just a moon face garden decoration.”

“It’s a prime factorization chart demonstrating The Sieve of Eratosthenes. Note that primes are of solid distinct color.”

“This was in my band-aid wrapper instead of a band-aid. Almost rubbery.”

“Looks like a manufacturing error where that may be the start or end of a production run.”

“Found 4 of these capsules filled with what appears to be metal shavings?”

“It’s a pill for ruminant animals.”

“Hundreds of stainless steel pipes near a damn”

“They’re breather pipes for a landfill site. Lets out the gasses from decomposing waste buried there.”

“Found in the woods in Germany hanging from a tree/bush.”

“Is hunting allowed? Could be for scent lure.”

“At an Airbnb in a beach town on the east coast in the US. The kitchen island has these ’indents’ with a handle?”

“It was part of a hatch door on a barn or a ship.”

“A small metal trinket found buried on a rural Missouri farm”

“It’s a boy scout neckerchief slide.”

“These little specs on my bed — every time I dust them off, they reappear within 2 hours and I have no idea how.”

“This is 100% termite droppings. Somewhere above (your bed) I’m sure you’ll find a small dot-sized hole in the ceiling.”

“2 cars parked on a street, both seem to have T-shirts (or some sort of material) over their wing mirrors, but just on the side facing the road.”

“It’s to keep birds from attacking the mirrors.”
