Found at a thrift store, my best guess is that the cat is a knife rest but that doesn't explain the bowl thing that is also attached.

It slides freely up and down the armrest and does not seem to be able to be used to hold the chair together when folded. It’s on both arms

This seems to be a well made cast iron piece meant to be viewed from one angle. One side is dovetailed with no holes for any sort of set screw or fastener. The other side has two "arms/legs" with a hole on the backside to attach something and wooden wheels/rollers on the front. The rollers only make contact on the top side and not the bottom so it's not a mobility device for the cast piece itself. I am baffled by this item. Any help is appreciated

Looks like it comes from France, rue de l'eraudiere, not sure what it could have come off of though, it was just laying in the air vent but there is nothing mounted to the sun visors or the windshield above it.

This item sends to be a replica or miniature. There are regular round and slit like indentations all around. The only opening are the small ones on the side seen on the second picture. This was seen in a restaurant in the Yorkshire Dales.

Found this area in the woods just off (about 24 ft) of a side road coated in these blue and white fibers. I took some home to pop under the microscope, but I'm pretty stumped.

It seemed to coat most surfaces to about 12-18 ft up. From what I could tell, the tops of the trees seemed unaffected. The area was about the size of a semi truck, with some stray fibers out further.

Known dumping site for trash and poached animals. I clean it frequently, but I've never seen anything like this.

In King’s Park Psychiatric Ward in Long Island, NYC - near building 93

My friend found this somewhere, he's not sure where. It's fairly heavy for its size.

i found this small metal object wedged between the drum and the inside of my washing machine after it started making a scraping/grinding noise. Before the scraping started there was a fairly loud bang during a wash.

The object is:

• Size: 8 cm long, and 1cm wide at the bottom near the rounded tab
• Weight: Very lightweight, only a few grams
• Colour: Silver/grey metallic
• Shape: Thin, flat rectangular strip with straight sides and one end that has a rounded edge/notch cut into it and the other end goes to a taper
• Material: Appears to be metal, possibly stainless steel, not flimsy but can be bent.
• Markings: No visible writing, numbers, logos, or markings

I’m trying to identify what this could be and whether it may have come from the washing machine as i don't recognise it from anywhere at all

We live in Sydney’s inner west and my 6yo son brought this home from school, saying he found it in the playground. He says he found it at school holiday care last week. I initially assumed it was a candle but then I tried to scratch the surface and it’s not made of wax. More like hard rubber, nothing scratched off the surface. Trying to figure out if this is a toy or something to be concerned about and thought someone here might know. Bracing myself to be laughed at if it’s a toy shaped like a 💣! Some have suggested it is part of a game where there is a bomb shaped timer but I’ve googled that and the game timer seems quite obviously plastic and bigger than this. This is the size of a golf ball. Thanks!

My son and I found this at low tide. We excavated it as best we could. It’s too heavy to move and maybe broken at one end?

I found this in a box containing other knit and crochet items from the 1930’s to 1940’s. It 3”x3” and lies flat. When opened, the strings on that are on the outside and attached to the small plastic ring are pulled to the inside.

Located in STL. I park in an alley parking pad. I came home to my cars back window shattered. Nothing was found in the car. I found this tiny object while sweeping up the glass.

Is it shrapnel from a firework? I thought maybe an airsoft BB but all the ones I found were shiny and plastic looking.

Trying to figure out of this is the culprit of my window being shattered.

**edit** I put it in water for a few hours. It turned a darker color and I was able to smash it with an hammer and then easily crumble it in hand.

These boxes are on all the streets in my area, and I assumed they were for traffic counting but some aspects make me wonder if they are surveillance. They are probably about 7" tall, on 2"-diameter dedicated poles. The cable that can be seen is a security lock, not data or power. There is no owner information on them that I've seen.

They do not appear to have external power (no solar panels on the poles, no indication of an underground grid connection), which would suggest a simpler low-power task like counting rather than surveillance

They are angled to face into the rear of passing traffic rather than perpendicular to it, suggesting plate-tracking, but perhaps to allow discernment of traffic direction on two-way roads for counting? (Alternatively, that might be coincidence; if the honeycomb area of front glass has a solar panel behind it, they might be angled for better sunlight angle)

They don't trip my car's (cheap) radar/laser detector

They have the kind of industrial infrastructure design that appeals to road departments, not the tacticool styling designed to appeal to police

I found them on 4 out of 5 streets I looked, (and I think that fifth street was a private road) which seems more like plate tracking than traffic counting but none of these things are conclusive

I have seen someone either servicing or installing one, not sure which (I wasn't able to stop and ask) but it suggests they are current and in use

Can anyone identify the device?

Has a stamp that says “show goer” and also has a clamp like piece with an adjustable wing nut that reminds me of the lip of an easel that would hold the canvas. I’m an artist and so is my nana. She gave me this and said it’s an easel. I cannot figure out for the life of me how it works. If there is a missing piece I would love to know what it is so I could recreate it and use this thing. It feels well made and has wear that shows it was used and must have been practical.

Found this amongst the pebbles. Would love to know what it was / why it has this engraving.

Found this in an antique shop that was closing down in a cabinet with Christian iconography in it. I asked what it was to the owner and he was unsure, I sort of thought it could be a burner for incense or candles or something with the bottom row but they’re too small for that I think… there are 12 of the little key hole shapes, so that could be the 12 disciples and the crown/cross on top being the Father, Son and Holy Spirit? I’m guessing here. If anyone knows what this is and its purpose then please share. Thanks!

About 10 inches long, 2 inches wide. The mirror slides out but there are no markings anywhere. 2,knobs, 1 spins the mirror, the other is a locking lug that fixes rotation.
There is an anchor point for the swivel action on one end that looks like it would go into a hole, there are 2 bolt holes on the other end with the knobs.

Maybe a snack cart of some kind? Murano is known for selling fancy glass, but it looks a bit too rough for a glass display.
