This is just a guess, but maybe the last object is for forming hats.

[@er5406]

The folks above are correct it is a vintage hat steamer I believe made by a company called VTG. There is one for sale on eBay.

[@joemack1965]

I agree with @LindaB651. I think its a felt shaper for forming/shaping hats.

[@oldbatwit5102]

Please be aware that Pony Express medallions were not issued at the time of the Pony Express being in operation. They are later and commemorative.
There are, however, many 'genuine' PE badges, buckles, ID badges etc. These are all fake and were mainly made in the fifties and sixties. One guy even wrote a book in the 1960s showing such items and this has been used to authenticate many such pieces. He did this quite deliberately as he was a major supplier of the fakes.

I am pretty sure the last item is for making bicycle saddles out of leather. I think cobblers used to reupholster those regularly. Bicycles are left outside in the rain and sunshine and take a lot of beating in one summer-winter cycle.

[@Kerbeygrip]

Definitely a steamer, but not sure about hats.

[@patablanche5075]

I knew the bodkin holder. I bought a plain wooden one for holding needles 40 years ago when I used to cross stitch.

[@idkidk8278]

Lol that first object! People still be doing similar things.

[@ASolzhenitsyn]

Yeah my first thought was "oh, stamp bags"

[@joernone]

I feel like an idiot. Almost never do I get any of these video things right.😋

[@666toysoldier]

If that's a tonsil snare, it's missing a lot. I graduated from operating room technician school in 1977, and immediately started working with ENT surgeons who still used tonsil snares, adenoid curettes, and adenotomes. Nothing looked like this.

[@mocoy9198]

a bindle maker lol

[@AA-ke5cu]

I guessed one time and wasn't even close; never again. 😊 people are such amazing b.s. artists.

[@Unknown17]

Those new, cute little Polaroid cameras you may have seen in the ads? They cost 80 frigging dollars on Amazon! And the film is 17 dollars for 12 pictures. That's a hell of a lot of nerve they got, charging that much!

[@ladyrebeccaroth-altic7011]

Hat steamer/ shaper

[@CaymanIslandsCatWalks]

Haha that’s some wraps from the Romanians at 0:53

[@tonyasmith5299]

I thought it was a heated milking stool.

[@TerrySlaven-zd3um]

How do you train the cow to sit on that?

[@oopswrongplanet4964]

Guess: Perhaps after one puts a foot on the mystery object, it then vibrates to mitigate neuropathy symptoms.

[@d.i.l.l.i.g.a.f]

Whatever that last item is, I cannot believe someone could offer that for sale in the condition the cord is in (especially as the tag makes it look like a retail setting, are there no laws to protect consumers in the US?), Looks like a dangerous and possible death trap, and you know the buyer is going to probably just plug it in when they get home to try it, being made of nice shine metal, and then the buyer becomes the earth lol. (Especially with the US litigation attitude of there is always someone else to blame, and there is no self responsibility for ones own actions) No way that could be sold in a retail setting in Europe.

[@joniangelsrreal6262]

Your comment is Way too funny …..
only the super ignorant would do that…!

[@jonduggan7433]

😪🤧
Pretty sure most people are intelligent enough to not just plug it in.
YOU ,dilligaf, seem like you DO in fact gaf.......
Maybe too much.
I, for one really don't feel the need to live in a plastic bubble sheltered from all possible harm.
If I make a mistake, I'll probably gain some practical and useful information from it.

[@user-wm3bf7pi3u]

How's that Tiffany lamp with rag wrapped cord? The one selling for 5-6 figures.
I think one of those European languages said something like "Cavite emptor" or something like that.
It's in a second hand store, items are sold as is, there are guidelines and regulations but there is no warranty or responsibility on the part of the seller as to the quality or performance of the item.
And according to The Antiques Roadshow older electrical items such as a Tif lamp retain their value when electrical components are replaced.
So you are quite literally advocating throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

@@joniangelsrreal6262 This Ming Vase has a chip, where's the nearest dumpsite or river?

[@keithskelhorne3993]

@@user-wm3bf7pi3u its Caveat Emptor, means "Buyer Beware" basicaly bought as seen, no backsies :) lol

[@jeanettemarkley7299]

Last item: A heated stool but we don't know why someone would want that. It also seems too small.
