So, What’s That, Again?

Apple Product, 1990ish. Didn’t see a serial number. Thing underneath it is a keyboard that was stored with it, unsure if related.

It’s the 20th Anniversary Macintosh (TAM)

On the underside of our cabinet in the house we recently bought, built in the 70s. Plastic with metal teeth on one side, very dull. Each side is ~4 inches long.

Comes with my package and I think they have put it in by accident. I feel like most people would know what this is

Someone left this on the side of the road. I didn’t feel it so I’m not sure what its made of but I know it’s heavy enough to survive the wind for a day before somebody picked it up.

This is a ceramic available in a slip mold, the kind anyone can do at a paint-your-own ceramics class.

We found this in the attic that we unsealed & entered for the first time today in the roof of our home which is a 1926 former Freemason Temple.

It’s an old junction board where all of the bells & signal wires were joined together.

Saw lots of these being installed in a hole in the ground laterally across a gap

They’re supports to stop the walls of the hole falling inward.

What is this tool? Looks like some sort of measuring device

Postage yeah…back in the day we would weigh out our weed with that

Stuck at home because of the virus, decided to clean this bottle/decanter kids asked questions about it, I had no answers other than “I found it at a flea market before you were born” Anyone know anything about this? or try another sub?

This metal/wooden thing and this powdery thing

That’s a ceremonial chonta. It’s a traditional healer thingy. Probably a replica from a junk souvenir shop, I can find that exact one on etsy, amazon, and ebay for sale.

I’ve had this stencil set for years- yellow is basic shapes and green is holidays/events. I’ve been trying to figure out since I was a kid what this is. They go in order of seasons. This is 17. 16 is a turkey, 18 is a mitten. Here’s the stencil and my drawing!

It is a director’s viewfinder used to block and set shots in a movie.

I have no clue. There are no markings, badges, or branding anywhere. The top piece lifts straight up, and that’s it.

It looks like a blank functional test fixture for circuit boards. I work with fixtures like that every day.

Wires on the road to count cars that use the road, microphone attached to collect noise data. Looks like a traffic study to me!
