What is it?

I've been collecting unusual objects for quite a while, and several years ago I started posting them on this site as puzzles for visitors to figure out what they are. Most of the items are mine but a few belong to others, if you aren't interested in tools there are plenty of other type objects that have also been posted.

For first time visitors I recommend this archive for a wide variety of some of my best pieces.

  • Could this be a (large) thread chaser, or perhaps the bolt from a heavy-duty lock?

    >198. I'd go with a bolt too, possibly from a safe.

    Right, it's from a bank vault, the same one as the nut in photo 32 seen here:
