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.

    Yes, it's an adapter for a Edi-Swan base, but I'm not sure what a Sparten cap plug is; it's not marked Bryant.

  • 449 is a metal carpet edge

    451 is a control for a directional antenna, usually used for a TV antenna 'back in the day'.
