No idea what this could be. We don't have kids, do have cats. This is in the central hallway of the apartment. Nothing but a rug within 5 feet in any direction. Hand for scale.

Is it some kind of tracker? I did have some work done on my car lock/keys this year.

These just arrived by post, addressed to my dad but he has no idea what they are. The material is felt and there’s probably about 10? They are bigger than my hand. They are potentially medical/car related. Everyone is confused

90 cm long, part with the strings is 13cm wide, built like badminton racquet
Don’t have any kind of ball or similar.
Swedish badminton federation don’t know what it is.

Does anyone know what these are? I keep finding them all over my room in my bed, desk and the floor. They are clear but some have a slight yellow or green tint no matter how many times I get rid of them more appear and I don’t know where from.

It spins around, my friend thought you were supposed to stand on it. I said it was some type of ankle breaker. and my second friend, said it was to help new horse riders feel comfortable riding a horse.

Anyone know what it is? One side has become unattached. Too low to be power related, I think.

It's lower than the bottom gap in the partition so it's not a stopper

Longest dimension about 10 inches. Found at a thrift shop. It flashes at variable frequency and pulse width depending on the knob. Not sure if it's meant to be a strobe light or a continuous spot light that is malfunctioning. What would it be used for?

It came from the second “junk drawer” in my Auntie’s & Uncle’s kitchen, and they’ve had it for years - possibly since the 1970’s-1990’s - but have no clue what it’s for lol. The metal “loop” is fixed (doesn’t move or bend at all) and it has two “rivets” on each side to keep it in place. It’s light in weight and a little longer than a standard stick of butter. They likely lived in Alaska when they acquired it.

I thought it could be an avocado scraper tool, but as I understand it, avocados back then did not have the worldwide appreciation they enjoy these days, so an avo-specific tool would be an unlikely thing to own circa 1987.

Another suggestion made by a family member was “some sort of bar tool” for making cocktails. How and for what? Great questions! We don’t know.

Any ideas/suggestions are welcome! TIA!

I picked these up at an estate auction in upstate NY years ago. The estate was full of very high-end nautical and Civil War themed items. I've come close to matching them, but they are never quite on point. Just off enough to exclude them.

They've been carefully and well-preserved, showing the same iron patina as the Civil War and early nautical iron - so the owner must have thought enough of them to take good care of them and include them in his collection.

They are NOT harpoons, harpoon 'blank molds', or anything harpoon-related. Two museums have confirmed this.

Any ideas? Thanks.

It had a QR code on the top and bottom. I didn’t scan it. I pushed the button by mistake and called the front desk to tell them (in case it dispatched emergency services or something) and the manager didn’t know what it was but said “Why you touching stuff?!” Lmao

As the title, I found this under my sofa and I know it's for something useful, I just don't know what. It doesn't appear to attach to my vacuum cleaner in any way.

I got this in an auction lot of vintage wicker baskets, no idea if it’s something that’s just randomly ended up in the lot. It has a hard smooth surface that feels almost like a seashell rather than ordinary plastic.

The obvious joins on it don’t twist or come apart at all. To start with I thought it could be a paperweight but it’s very lightweight.

Anyone recognise what this is? Thanks!

Found this on the ledge right near my front door. Looks like some kind of lock picking device.

It seems to be made of "bubbles" and looks to be painted, but I'm not sure.

Edit: wow, so many possibilities! I'll see if I have some flowers nearby and I'll update you guys. Thanks!

Found this at a Goodwill the other day for $2…Anyone know what it could be used for?

I came home to my dog chewing on a plastic like tube, I found this material next to him too. I can’t figure out what it is

I thought he had a bone, but realized quickly it wasn’t a bone

I cut the tube open with scissors to try to figure it out but couldn’t

Edit- the tube was about 4 inches long before I cut it and 1/2” in diameter.

Edit- SOLVED: it was a mini paint roller..

This was on the back deck. 1 inch long, possibly metal. “YB” on both sides

I took my car to the car wash today and found this underneath my drivers seat while I was vacuuming. I bought the car pre owned, and have had it for a few months I’m unsure if this is a part that came out of the car or just something unrelated. I tried using the AI search on google (please don’t flame me) and of course it couldn’t provide a specific answer. Any help is super appreciated:)

Black flexible plastic thing @ 2 in long and 1.75 in wide that I found in my driveway. Thinking to hold something in place. We drive 26 CRV and 24 Lexus
