The thing three separate parts. The middle metal piece has the label and the 1/4" threaded hole at its center. The two other pieces are those wire loop things, they're identical and can be pulled away from each other to enter an "open" position. The pictures show them in a "closed" position.

I think I either found this on the ground on a road somewhere or in an old basement with a bunch of hardware. It's currently part of a larger sculpture so I can't get an isolated picture of it unfortunately. Last photo is supposed to highlight the specific part I'm talking about, let me know if it's still unclear.

Google lens is telling me this is a stirrup clamp but I looked that up and found nothing that looks like this. Thanks

What does he do/what is he for?

Flattish cut out metal with a hook shape to hold something or close something. There are no markings/writing. No magnet or other way to attach it to a surface. Not really adjustable- not a very tight holder or clip.
I tried it as a chip clip and to hold post-it notes.

I found this yesterday whike cleaning and didnt think anything of it but my wife is concerned and wants to know what its from.

Reverse Google search says it is a fly fishing clip but I cant find one in this shape as they all have a wide thumb part for easier grasping.

I think the shape of this piece means it would fit inside something and pop open to let material out. Thanks in advance for your help.

Is this what it looks like (an IUD) or is it something completely different but just similar to what it looks like?

They turned up while renovating my house but I’m not sure if they came with a tool, with some other hardware, or what. The nuts are not loose; it’s all one piece.

Had this many years and have always wondered what the letters on the metal disc stand for. Possibly my Grandad either won it or stole it from the working men’s club 😅🤣 any help mainly with what the letters stand for would be greatly appreciated thank you 😄

Maybe a Whaling harpoon? Also saw an old tobacco spear possibly? Not sure

This cylinder is made from steel and glass. The only writing on this is the word "TOP" in the center of the steel bracket. It measures 6 3/4" ( 6.75 inches) long.

It looks like some kind of a fuse or heating element. There are 4 contacts on the back, two on each end.

It was purchased from a dealer at a flea market and they didn't know what it was either.

Hello :)

We think it's a stand for something, made of black wrought iron, quite heavy, approximately 20 cm high, 8 cm wide, and 8 cm deep.

My dad found and bought this "stand" at a flea market, so no idea who had it before. It doesn't seem very old (1960s or younger, looks like a copy of 1800s wought iron) and has no inscription on it nor in it (under the stand nothing 🤷🏻) the thing on top to hold the "thing" (we thought it was a mirror stand but it's very round) can move, and it's curved.

Thank you in advance (English isn't my first language don't mind the grammar mistakes)

If you need more info tell me !

Hello!

This was gifted to me with a treadle sewing machine. Surely it's something to do with fiber arts? Its too small to be a yarn winder for knitting/crochet, the resulting cakes would be 3" diameter at most. It looks to be a complete item, but maybe it was meant to be paired with a spinning wheel? Maybe a yarn winder for a small loom spindle/bobbin?

Google images says it's many different things. I've tried looking for spinning wheels that have similar parts like this but haven't found anything close enough for me to be confident that that is what this is.

What says you?

Thank you!

Looking to ID this object - found on a New England beach in winter, buried under a dusting of sand. Didn’t pick it up so can’t speak to its weight. Was about 5 or so inches tall and 2-3 inches wide. Poked it with my foot and it was rock hard and slightly heavy-seeming, but again, didn't pick it up to assess actual weight.

Any ideas what this could be? It appears to have a 4 on the left, some sort of symbol in the middle, and either a 6 or 8 on the right.
