“Found in dumpster. About 4 feet in diameter. Unsure of weight. Made of mostly wood it seems.”
A: Definitely a form for making a sand mold to make a metal casting of some type of industrial bevel gear. Dig that thing out, and people would pay good money to hang it up or make a coffee table for industrial-chic decorating.
“Small plastic rectangle with little free moving things inside?”
A: "It’s to check if a microwave is working, it’s called a “magic light”. You stick it in a microwave, and it’ll glow red when the magnetron energizes. I’ll have to find mine and compare, but it looks extremely close."
“Wooden kit box with carry handle and larger deep compartment.”
A: "Looks like a sewing or knitting box to me. The small drawers are for supplies like needles, etc., and the large side is for projects in progress."
“Rubber squirrel with removable tail, holes in tail, ability to clip on to flat surface.”
A: Tea infuser.
“What are these plastic boxes that my neighbor mounted on our shared fence?”
A: Looks like a trail camera. It takes a photo or records video when it detects movement. Seeing how it’s facing the fence itself, maybe they’re trying to capture some bird
“Round plastic piece. 37.4 mm diameter with a 7.34 mm hole in the center. Found lying around the house.”
A: 45 RPM record player adapter.
“Bolted metal thing found in a rock pool when the tide was out.”
A: A filling port on a large, sand-filled geotextile container. They are filled with sand and used for erosion control.
“Lightweight glossy black spoon-shaped object found in kitchen.”
A: It’s a tamper for a Hamilton Beach blender.
“3 inch long wooden case with what looks to be vents. Two dragon pieces slide off the front to reveal plexiglass and interior. Back slides off to give access.”
A: Cricket cages!
“Silver thing with marble inside 3cm long, found in jewelry bundle.”
A: It’s a pendant.
“Brass item, with lead counterweight, 20cm long, about 500g, no stamps or engravings, shell-like part moves down when pushed.”
A: It’s a brass billiard pocket.
“Found inside a box full of old stuff. Sounds like plastic when tapped on both sides and it’s not a magnet.”
A: It looks like one of those tabletop mini flag holders.
“What is this small cylindrical thing with rubber ends I got at a conference?”
A: A toy, if you wobble it right, it will stand on its end.
“Rubber gasket and spring-loaded post. What is it?”
A: "Looks like the hook that goes on the bottom of some camera tripods. I’m holding one in my hand now that looks extremely similar to a SmallRig tripod."
“Expandable circle with chain and lid/top.”
A: It’s the top of an expandable purse, yours is just missing the actual fabric purse part.
“Small metal stick with moving parts.”
A: That is a CUFF LINK.
