I suggest you look at the photos of interesting and unusual finds that good experts have already managed to identify.





The world is full of unknown, but extremely interesting things. Many of them literally lie in wait for us at every step. You can encounter them at work, in the park, or even in your own home. In the past, figuring out their purpose could take months or even years (there was no Internet). Fortunately, today there are many online communities that help curious Barbarians understand their findings.

I found some strange green lights. They are located on the walls of the gas station. What is this?



This is a modern fly trap: they are lured by a green light, and inside there is a sticky zone that will not allow them to get out. In addition, customers are not put off by the unattractive appearance of the device.

I bought Nike sneakers. Inside the box was a plastic bubble filled with strange microparticles





This is likely a keychain that contains particles of unrecycled plastic. In this unique way, the company decided to show how it cares about the environment (offering customers, in a sense, to get rid of microplastics themselves).

I have seen this cane shaped brass pole in numerous bars and pubs. What it is?



These pipes are installed to prevent patrons from standing near the opening section of the bar that allows bar staff to enter and exit.

A small elephant filled with water. We argue with the neighbors about what it could be for.



This is a melted, reusable ice cube.

What is this thing I found in the basement of an old mental hospital?



This is a large autoclave. The device is used to sterilize mattresses and bedding.

I found this using a metal detector. Does not magnetize, does not spark when grinding. This thing is very heavy and durable.



It turned out to be an ancient bronze casting. It was transferred to the museum for further research.

What is this large sphere of mesh material?



It is part of a sculpture or decoration. It's most like a piece of art you'd see at music festivals.

A blue glass vessel with a hole at the top. On the bottom it says made in Morocco. What is this?



This is a bottle of vintage Moroccan perfume.

Looks like some kind of scientific equipment. What could it be?



This is a distillation cube - an apparatus used for the distillation of various liquids.

Ornate antique wooden frame with stretched fabric, what is it?



This is called a fireplace screen. It is placed near the fireplace to block the bright light of the fire.

Does anyone know what this little silver spoon is for?



This is a salt bed. It was used at a table on which there were small plates of salt.

What is this strange silver bottle?



This is probably a vintage travel flask.

Clearly a homemade welded metal frame with three unvarnished plywood panels. What is this for?



This is a device for dry training of hockey players: they run in place on these things, pushing off from the side panels, like on skates.

A mug with a small cup inside. What is this?



This is a pill cup. The tablets are placed in a small cup, water is poured into a large one. You place your lips on the small cup, and when you tilt it back, water flows from the larger cup to the smaller cup to help you swallow your medications.

An anchor-shaped item made of silver. Hollow inside, opens and closes



Original toothpick holder.

What is the vertical slot in a hotel bedside table for?



This slot is needed to store a laptop or tablet while charging overnight. An excellent solution that helps you not take up the entire bedside table.
