That thing at the end is for polishing brass buttons, stops you getting brass cleaner all over your uniform.
In the British Army they called it a "Button stick"
I know I've seen it used on something like "Dances with Wolves" or "Babylon 5"
Just saw one of those on an old episode of "Antiques Road Trip " on BBC America.
If I remember right, they lost money on it at auction.
A very efficient one - if the buttons match the distance.
@@typograf62 British guards uniforms are set up with them spaced different depending on the section you are in or what ever, so several would exist but also, you could bunch it up if they are too far apart of do it one at a time.
Last item is deffinately what I'd call a "Button Stick" as others have said. But not just for buttons, it could be used to shine up all brass accoutements on military kit, cap badges, belt buckles and slides, etc.
I was issued the British version when I joined up in 1975!!!
last item is a US military button board
Can’t believe someone didn’t know what egg cups and an egg timer were.
I know!
people today just don't use these things and thus have no idea ... maybe a book is required of all the old things no longer used for those who like interesting ancient things.... guess that makes us 'ancient' too :D
Likewise. Though, if you ask for a soft boiled egg in most hotels, they struggle to find an eggcup, in my experience.
I'll have to admit, even I struggled to get it, at first, and my birthday today puts me in "Early Senior Citizen" territory. 😁 Egg cup & timer sets were still popular to give as wedding presents in the 60s, but seemed to have been all but forgotten by the late 70s, at least where I live. But, it's a regional thing, I think. Soft boiled eggs served with "soldiers", toast cut into strips, for dipping into the yolk, are still popular in England.
@@cat441 Who needs a book when we've got this channel?
Plus this is not as surprising an 'unknown' item as the camera flash cube from a few weeks ago.
The last item was a was to be put around brass buttons on a military uniform so when you polish them it doesn't get on the uniform
Yep
Although 97 people in the comments have said that the last item was to help polish buttons, I thought I'd show just how intelligent I am by saying that the last item was to help polish buttons.
The last item is for polishing uniform buttons
Yep
I concur!
1:51 When I was fifteen, I worked as a night watchman at a plywood mill. We used those keys and clock to prove that we'd been present at the locations at the right times. I also had to clean saws between rounds. I was supposed to be eighteen for the watchman job. The saw cleaner job was a union job, but I obviously wasn't in the union. The lunch room was a picnic table in the men's room. There were lots of rats. I used the money to buy contact lenses.
A picnic table in the men's room? Yuck, dude!
I was tickled pink at the magnemometer's patent lawyer. I'm Canadian and used to know someone named Featherstonehaugh back in high school, never seen his name anywhere since. If I remember correctly, his family had several lawyers so that absolutely tracks!
Thanks for bringing back good memories. 😊
It's clear that one branch of the family lost a proportionate number of IQ points with a dropping of the last syllable! Out of curiosity, did your friend pronounce their last name "Fenshaw?"
@@chaunceyfeatherstone6209 I had to think about that for a minute! We were teenagers at the time so didn't really use our last name much between friends.
If memory serves, he chewed up "Feather" a bit but the rest was as written. "Feyt-stonehaw" is the closest phonetics I can come up with.
@@Dwynfal It is a mouthful and I can certainly understand fudging on a couple syllables alright, I get lost writing my own signature sometimes. I had read the name Featherstonehaugh in various genealogies but never met one or knew a friend of a friend sort of thing. The only pronunciation clue was that "Fenshaw" was a derivative of "Featherstone" and Fenshaw had been tacked on the end of the list after "haugh". Your friend sounds like he split the difference between the complete cheat and the full galumph. Either way, he undoubtedly had to end a few introductions with, "Really... That is my real name." Thank you so much for replying! Greetings from Alberta!
I'm getting old lol. Last one i was thinking "My Dad has one of those. He used it alot when i was a kid, and showed me how to use it". He's 80 now. It took me way too long to realise it was for polishing the buttons on his uniform and his Reds.
2:07 OK a tooth paste tube roller... but I almost thought for a second it was a mouth harp, like Snoopy plays.
When I worked as a security guard in the Max Factor building in Hollywood I would use a watch clock system with the key stuck into the clock I carried that would imprint the paper disk inside at each station. This was the early 70s.
I got the security guard/watchmen's clock (my father had a security guard business). If I had seen the flowered version of the toothpaste tube squeezer, I would have gotten it right away; didn’t recognize the plain turquoise one.
And the telephone cabinet was easy peasy!
Very happy with my trivia knowledge today! 😊
I knew what the telephone cabinet was! The drawer or cubby hole was for your address book and your yellow pages. We use to write phone numbers we called frequently in our address book along with the complete mailing address. They also use to build phone hutches directly into the wall of homes. Once again feeling old and crusty! lol
My house was built in 1961 and I have a phone nook and plaster circles on the ceiling.
@@pfadiva I’m older than your house , true story
@@cspat1 I'm older than my house, too.
Definitely for polishing brass buttons I had one for my great coat when I was in the WRAF (Women's Royal Air Force for any foreigners)
I love watching these videos I try to guess but more then often I am way off lol
As a military historian, i believe what you have is a plate to protect the military uniform when polishing your buttons
I'm delighted to know that I guessed correctly on the egg timer/cup set!! The telephone cabinet, too! You've had butter keepers similar to the one at 6:20 before, and I'm glad a remembered it.
I got most of them today, much better than usual for me. I should have gotten the cookie dough scoop, but I'd never seen one like that. I've always used two spoons, or a little scoop with a wiper blade that runs one the inside of the scoop (the spoons work better). And I had no idea on what the magnetometer was but now I want one.
I thought it was an adjustable measuring spoon. I have one and it's design is similar but there are measurement marks and it locked in at the chosen mark.
Oh my goodness...I am so old. People actually DON'T know a toothpaste tube squeezer when they see it? Have no idea what an egg timer and egg cups are? (I've been looking for a toothpaste squeezer without luck and I guess they don't make them any more. *sigh*)
maxximumb is correct, except they are called 'button guards'. This would close around the brass buttons of military uniforms so the buttons could be polished without staining the uniform.
Back in the 50s and 60s you could get a soft boiled egg at almost any restaurant.
This channel is kinda a great example of showing how quickly knowledge is lost, some pics seem like common sense (esp after the fact) lol- like the telephone ☎ cabinet but if the only telephone you’ve ever known is of a cellphone , I suppose that it would be baffling which is wild. But the downright hilariously ridiculous assumption of use of the cookie dough dropping spoon, that the person actually imagined it’s use was for ’’FORCE FEEDING SOMEONE’’ immediately struck me as … WAIT… WHAT ❓❗😳🤪😨
I knew 2 of them this time, the toothpaste thing and the phone cubby. =^)
👁👁 👏👏
People are dumb...
HEY THE WORD IS STUPID 🤪😵💫😵🥴 AND YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID 😮
AND MORE PEOPLE THEN EVER ARE CATCHING THAT ALIMENT, I THINK THERE IS NO CURE FOR IT 🤒🤢🤕😷 . MAY GOD BLESS US 🙏🙏🙏 AND HELP US TO GET BACK IN SHAPE 👍👍😃AMEN ✝️✡️🕎🙏
Not necessarily dumb or stupid, just ignorant of anything that is not electronic.
Final item is pubic hair trimmer/ groomer. It helped shorten unsightly pubes that grew too long and got caught in a zipper.
