I think the mug is a moustache mug. Ya drink from the side with the perforations, and ya don't 'dunk' your moustache into what you're drinking. That's my WAG. OTOH, you could be right about a shaving mug.
Unmentioned was the fact that the brush was placed in the perforated section, to drain back into the cup. Some would have a simple bridge to form a rest for the same purpose.
@@russbilzing5348 The soap sits in the perforated tray and you use the brush to make lather. Hot water in the bottom. Excess water on the soap drains back into the water reservoir.
6:36 is an air wedge. Nothing to do with cars unless you are a car thief. You use is to lift doors to align hinges as well as levelling heavy objects before securing them. Very common in the carpenter trade.
@@donaldcarey114 Give me break, to 99% of the people it's an arrow head. There's always one of you that needs to show how smart you think you are, by pointing out stupid details that no one else cares about.
6:30. That is definitely a moustache mug. A shaving scuttle is similar but will have spout…looks kind of like a teapot. Just Google both to compare images.
That candy cane kiss dummy is a MAJOR QC failure. Not only did the equipment fail to detect and reject it. Workers failed to notice the equipment failure. The ENTIRE batch should have been blocked and production halted until the dummy was found.
Certainly making me pretty cautious about ever buying Candy Cane products... 🛍🚫🤔 Thankfully they don't offer their products in the UK, so we're safe...For the moment! 😉
While I can't disagree with any of the answers, I can shed some light for the younger generation. The item at 8:33 is a hotel or motel motion detector. I stayed in a hotel that if it did not see motion after a period of time, it shut off the A/C. At 12: 39 is more than a bug hotel, it is a Carpenter Bee :"Hotel". Better to have them there then setting up housekeeping in your home. At 17:58 is a telephone booth fan. Because the blades did not have a cage around them, they were made of soft rubber. Thay dried out and denigrated after time.
At 22:04... my parents had something like this and it is a candle snuffer...so you don't blow out the candle and blow melted wax all over the table. It also trims the wick so you are ready to go the next time you want to light the candle. My parents were old school and we had 2 candle sticks lit on the table at every dinner... We never ate in the kitchen. Thanks for your great videos. Learn a lot!
I feel kinda clever, or old! I knew a few of those, the herb scissors, the portable ashtray, the orange juicer, the flower arranger, the ink wells, anda few others. The arrowhead was so obvious! And we think this century has produced some incredible inventions!!!!! I could sure use one of those bottle openers!
Haha, priceless... literally saw animal-themed foam door stoppers like the one at the beginning of this video, in a shop this afternoon :) Had various designs, all different animals, quite sure there was even a cow one similar to this :)
I saw the Chinese nut with the holes used as a tea-cup. You put the tea-leaves in the mug and fill it with hot water. You don't remove the leave and the holes prevent them to go into your mouth when drinking the tea.
@robertstallard7836 You're mostly right. It is for shaving. I meant only to refute it to be for drinking tea. I actually use a badger brush and soap for shaving, but the way it's done is to put the soap AND hot water in the bottom of the mug, swirl the brush around with the soap to work up a mug full of hot lather and then brush the lather onto one's face. The perforated tray is to dump out the water and suds after shaving without losing the soap. The soap is NOT held in the perforated tray. If you actually used one of these you'd know it impossible to work up much lather in that small upper tray.
@robertstallard7836 I highly recommend it! It amazes me that people spend considerable amounts of money on an aerosol can of chemical foam, which they apply cold, and don't get either as good a job or as pleasurable an experience. Hot lather softens the beard and contains all the good ingredients of whatever quality soap one uses. I used to buy Gray's shaving soap pucks, but now I just drop whatever bar of organic goat's milk soap leftover from the bath into my antique mug. It's the perfect way to use up the wee bits too small for anything else and is virtually free.
I like this site, but how does one submit their own strange items for identification?. I have something weird that has been in the family for decades, and no one has ever found out what it is. I would love to submit. How?.
For anyone finding it hard to see how the last item is used as a juicer - the guy is holding it upside down. Those long prongs are the legs, and it's supposed to stand on them. They are so long so that the glass can fit under.
The last item is the 'Juicy Salif', Designed by Philippe Starck in 1990, supposedly based on the shape of a squid. Produced by Alessi. They were all the rage. Pretty expensive and pretty useless, as admittted by both Starck and Alessi. Starck is even quoted "not meant to squeeze lemons" but "to start conversations".
1:11 The Chonta MUST be returned to Peru or to a Peruvian trained Shaman. It belongs with a healer & unless that is to be your specific path, I can only ask that you make an attempt to return it. If you are in 🇨🇦 there is a small Community of Yachakkuna (healers) here that are of the San Pedro region and not too difficult to find. Any Travel Agent that focuses on Peru will have no issues with finding you the correct person should you choose to take what I believe is the correct path however this is not mine to take and it is completely up to you. NO judgement, I can promise you that.🙏🏻from my heart, be well.
Jeepers I'm getting old. I knew the answers for a lot of these things. Granted, some where old when I was young, but the fact that I knew what they were surprised me.
the thing under the cabinet is a jar opener. you slide the lid of the jar into the teeth bysliding it towward the skinniest part andd turning the jar. pop. bob's yer uncle.
6:24 I thought that cup was used by gentlemen to keep their moustaches dry when drinking a cup of tea....? They drink from the open side and their moustache rests dry on the perforated side...? :/ now I'm not so sure
#1 is a jar opener. They work great. edit: it has been pointed out to me that I can't count. I meant #2 is a jar opener that installs under a cupboard and fits any jar.
Arrowheads did not apper in the America's until about 600 years ago and were all the size of a thunbnail. The point shown was a javalin point and it was most likely NOT Hopewell.
@donaldcarey114 ok, point taken. So, how do you account for the different arrowheads used for hunting birds at a 10,000 year old site in New Mexico? I worked on that site with the UTEP archeology department.
@@breeinatree4811 Few, if any sites in the Americas have produced arrowheads VERIFIED to be over 6-700 years old. I would like to see a link to the peer reviewsd paper the team you worked with published. p.s. I have been picking up tools, points and pottery in the South Eastern U.S. for over 60 years (at first as a 4th grader, from ditch banks while walking to the school bus stop in Mecklinburg County, N.C.).
This looks like click and paste video. should explain bit better some of the photos some seems like half ass explanation.i like watching this kind of videos so go into more details. so it seems like the person making this video just click paste its. never does extra research. this is a cat this is a dog lol
I dont think that disc with holes is a frog. if it is on the bottom of the pot it cant get hold of the flower stems. I think it is a pot alarm. if you are waiting for water to boil and busy yourself doing something else, you put this in the pot and when the bubbles start, the disc will rattle in the pot telling you it is boiling.
It is a flower frog. It doesn't sit in the bottom of the vase. The vase has a lip around the top inner rim and the frog sits on that. Very familiar item from my childhood.
I'm going to have to disagree with some of the answers. I'm 50 years old and I remember the objects being used for something else. 1349 I've seen people use that to separate the egg whites from the egg yolk, 1909 I've seen people use those to grind up soap for the laundry, 2039 I have seen people use those for snuff, four other sniffing substances.
