My wife and I just bought a new home. Our small bathroom closet has a sliding metal tray in it that I am totally stumped on why it’s in there. Any ideas or experience with this? We just plan on putting towels and washcloths in here

Hi all, I'm trying to identify the three objects in the attached photo. They're tall and slim, in white, green and red, standing upright side by side on an office desk at the front of a black box. Each one is top-heavy and tapers toward the bottom. They look like separate free-standing pieces. Estimated height: 2.5 to 3.5 inches. They're made prior to 1981. Sorry about the blur, it's the clearest image I have (screenshot from a grainy 1982 movie some of you may have heard of: Blade Runner).

What are they, who made them, and what country might they come from? Thanks!

Four thin-walled galvanized steel tube sections in a hinged wooden case lined with carpet. Each section is 3" outside diameter and 4 ft long, with rows of holes spaced 4" apart. All four snap together end to end into one long pole using spring-loaded pins, and the overlap is adjustable. Joints have some play at full extension and tighten up when overlapped deeper. No markings found so far. Reverse image search turned up nothing useful.

Photos show the full case, the assembled pole, the pin and hole detail, and the inside of a tube end.

Is this a tent or canopy pole, flagpole, antenna mast, or something else?

The last photo I messed with the contrast and stuff to help see it in different lighting.

This hand-crafted leather accessory was found together with a similarly-crafted leather messenger bag, in the personal effects of the man who made it. It did see some use (the strap where the buckle meets it is worn), unlike the bag it was next to.

The piece weighs about 10 ounces. The main leather patch is just under 12” across. If you lay the buckled piece out in a circle, it’s just big enough to be a belt (about 16” across). The buckle is brass, as are the little lozenge-shaped decorations.

Title describes it, I could identify most sensors on the station but I can’t figure out what this would measure

For context this is in an apartment in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It looks like it's indicating the current floor an elevator would be located in, but there is obviously no elevator (nor trash chute) in the kitchen. The number 4 has now changed to another black square. I have not noticed if it has displayed other things, but the 4 was there for a handfull of days.

What is this small two-piece pink glass object with fitted circular rims and narrow openings?
This is approximately 1.5 inches long and appears to be pink Depression glass. Both pieces have a molded flower design, beaded edges, and a flared tab at one end.
The circular rim on one piece is slightly smaller than the other, allowing them to fit together with the flower designs facing outward. The rims have notches that leave narrow openings into the hollow center when assembled. An opening would barely accommodate a chopstick.
I haven’t noticed any maker’s marks. Photos show the pieces separately and fitted together. Does anyone recognize what this was used for?

I have no idea what it belongs to. I do not own any furniture utilizing magnets. I vacuumed last night and did not see this at the time. I found it when I got home from work and wanted to switch out the toy my cat's toy wand. Previously, it had a fabric fish with fabric streamers. I found the object under a 48inch long fabric crinkle snake attachment just on the carpet.

The ruler measurement will be off because of the magnet being affected by the metal bits.

This has been in our closet forever, and none of us know or remember how it got there or what it's for. It might have been left here when we moved in.

I found this small metal piece on the driver side floor of my car (2013 skoda citigo similar to a vw up) I fear it is from the clutch pedal but can't figure out where it came from. Could also have been stuck under my boots and gotten loose in the car.

I got this item as part of a lot of firearm parts and gunsmithing tools at an estate sale. The owner was a machinist and also a gunsmith. He had barrels for shotguns, M1903A3s, an M1 Garand, a Ruger 10/22, and a Colt M11911A1. He was also a reloader. The tube is exactly 9 inches long; the small diameter is approx. 9/16" and the flared ends are about 11/16". The internal diameter of the brass cup is just under 7/16". I cannot find any manufacturer stamps or proof marks. The holes go all the way through. The piston/plunger is spring-loaded with a spring that travels the length of the tube. The spring tension is weak. The "rear" stud is about 1 1/16" and has two flats on the tip. Please, what is this thing?

Sorry I couldn’t get more photos, was in a rush! Can post more if requested later today! Not sure what this is, but the little tube sticking out on the left looked like it had a lens on the end. It’s pointing at a four way stop sign outside my apartment complex. Is it a camera? Looks super jank. Stressed out about any cameras with all the flock stuff happening recently. For extra context, this shares a street with turning point USA

I moved a few months ago and found this in my junk drawer. Unfortunately, I can't recall what it's from. I also am unable to remember if it was in the junk drawer at my previous apartment or if it found its way there during the packing/unpacking process.

I've included images with measurements. The entire piece is about 2.5" long. The bottom (~7/8") is wider than the top (~3/4").

Reverse image searches mostly suggest it's a film spool, but I'm not convinced.

I heard a whizzing sound and this landed on my roof. Didn't sound like a bottle rocket, much quieter. Google image searched but wasn't able to find an answer. Closest thing was a mosquito dunk but this is much smaller.

We just moved house and these were in plastic so they’ve never been used. Google searches come up blank.
