It's time to surprise and delight Adam! At Metropolitan Museum of Art's Arms and Armor conservation lab, armorer Ted Hunter assembles some artifacts -- from pistols to helmets -- that include some very unexpected hidden features (that surprised even the curators)! Did YOU guess any of them before the reveal?

@Voidmonster 10 месяцев назад

I have a dressing kit from the 1860s. It's pretty complete -- 2 straight razors, boot pull/buttonhooks, a bottle opener, a mechanical pencil/pen combo in sterling silver, some bottles. That kind of thing. No maker's marks on most of the goods (I especially wanted to know who made the razors). The *pen* however, being sterling, had a maker's mark and date so I could be sure the kit was made by someone in the Mosley family in the 1860s. There's also a mirror for shaving. It's bound in very thin leather which has torn a bit, so I can get a look at what was used for backing between paper and leather (the dye of the leather would otherwise discolor the silver of the mirror). The backing paper was a page from an 1820's business ledger from the Mosleys in Birmingham. It was clearly garbage for them, but it provided vital clues for me.

@mytube001 10 месяцев назад

To be fair, the second he mentioned that they thought the ramrod was missing, I immediately though of the knob at the end of the stock. But I expected it to be a truly flexible object, essentially a steel spring, full length, in a curved compartment going all the way forward between the barrels. Didn't expect a folding one!

This series of videos has been my absolute favorite posted to youtube. From intricate armor, medieval history, passionate conservators like Ted with great stories to tell, and Adam gawking at it all like us the viewers. I've always been very drawn towards archaeology, and artifact preservation/conservation and this has only made me more motivated to get into the field. So thanks Adam, Tested, all the conservators, and other staff involved at the MET for the incredible series.

I once had a handsomely carved wooden box. Upon closer inspection, I found a hidden latch, when I turned the latch the box popped open and much to my surprise there were 32 little wooden carved figures inside. I showed it to my neighbor who was very wise and learned, and he informed me that what I had in my possession was a 'chess set' which was specifically designed to store the so-called 'chess pieces' inside of the chess board when not in use. Needless to say I was absolutely astounded by the craftsmanship and ingenuity of the contrivance.

@ostekuste3646 10 месяцев назад

I have actually been privileged to inspect and handle a sword similar to that one in a museum collection. Amazing craftsmanship and surprisingly lightweight compared to many European contemporaries. The less decorated battle tested ones feel wickedly efficient in the hand. Speaking of hands, the most surprising thing about them is the hilt. Very small to my mind, and I am not a large person nor do I have large hands but I could barely get a four finger grip.

@jeromethiel4323 10 месяцев назад

This was amazing! The crafts people of old were just as creative and sneaky as people are today. We like to think that we've advanced technologically, and we have, but ancient people were just as clever as we are, they just didn't have as much accumulated knowledge to draw upon. We literally stand on the shoulders of the innovators who came before us.

Before the topic of "hidden items" came up, I thought to myself "I wonder what is attached to the knob on the handgrip/stock?" Maybe because I know that it was common in later firearms to store items like cleaning kits or even cartridges in the stock.
