    The glove stretcher was very interesting. Pretty cool, actually.

    The soap shaker was used with bars of soap made to wash dishes. We used this when I was a child. I am 66. We used sunlight soap which we can now get in liquid form to wash dishes. I think using it as a soap saver came later maybe. We never used it that way

      I currently use sunlight soap to wash my dishes (new zealander here) and for stains in clothes. I live in an old house build in the 50's and the kitchen is original, so has one of those in a little drawer in front of the sink. Nothing makes stainless steel sparkle like sunlight soap!! And it lasts for ages! I wash my hands with it too haha. My kitchen even has an old meat locker. My parents are 60 and they did the same as kids... My grandfather gave me some sunlight soap and a nice pot for my 28th birthday a few years back before he died at 90, same day as the queen. I don't have a dishwasher so wrap sunlight soap in a kind of mesh cloth

      Also 66yo. We called it a soap swisher and used the ends of soap to create suds for washing dishes.

    The thing at 2:30 doesn't show *the* Napoleon, Napoleon l, but his son Napoleon ll "L'Aiglon", the Young Eagle. You can see the wings surrounding the head. He was also designated King of Rome, but in the end never ruled anything.

    Not a tree branch mudder. It's a sterling silver telephone dialer, used with rotary dial phones. It would help ladies save their manicures. I have one also. And if you are a classic movie buff, one of a different style is what the main characters consider buying in "Breakfast at Tiffany".

    Not a soap saver! Trust me. My grandparents had one. They used it to cook things over a open flame.

      It's a sudser. Put a chunk of soap in it and swirl it in a basin of water to make suds. Too small for cooking food in.

    • @tsugima6317

      I saw this in an old Sears catalog and it is definitely a sudser. The catalog was from the 1920s.

      So 200 years of people using them for a soap sudser have been wrong, but your grandparents who found soap-bar sized food to cook in it were correct ? ?

      A larger such implement, perhaps with a finer mesh, was used to pop popcorn over coals. Just have to keep the kernels in before they pop. Put in maybe a handful at a time to leave room.

    An unusual item showed up on the ground in the courtyard of my apartment complex. It was around an inch long, looked woven, and looked like it would have been white if it was clean. Not insulation or anything like that, since the complex was built in 2017. Any ideas?

      This looks very much like a simple variant of a hand guard for a ceremonial sword, but I would guess it is from a "Hirsch Fänger" or perhaps a serving knife? If this is a degausser, there is no explanation for the ornamental details. Can you give a link to an example?

    7:05 is indeed a bunch of metal bits incased in acrylic resin. It's a New Age religion device, designed to generate electrical fields to neutralize harmful influences such as Chemtrails. Srsly. They come in all shapes and sizes and cost a lot. A Reiki healer showed me his.
