To the person who submitted that thermometer sterilizer. I just love how you used a blue crab and lobster to showcase your find! Gave me a big smile.😁
Doesn't he know it should be a banana.
That gave me a smile as well. Everything was so, well let's say "proper" or "adult" (for lack of better words) & then suddenly these bright blue toy crabs showed up & destroyed all credibility. Lol, jk. I really admire their creativity & ability to use what was at hand.
Me too 😂
The last item is a cork screw for removing corks from early medicine bottles.
I love those old adjustable wrenches, and I buy them every time I find one. They are great tools, it's a hammer as well as a wrench. I have at least 6 of various sizes.
There's always at least one item in these videos that I actually own and use. I live off-grid on solar/wind/battery power and I use non-electric tools as much as possible. This 100 year old stuff lasts forever!
awesome, I live in a town but whenever I came about a pile of old house trash to be collected the next morning, i looked through it, half of my garden tools and some other staff like beautiful furniture buttons, Kitchen hangers, even some old linen no one valued anymore, i am not a fan of plastic. So.... Pippi Longstockings still my hero, haha
Agree that old is often better. I would rather buy one good item at a higher price that lasts than pay nearly nothing for disposable crap.
@@kimhohlmayer7018 Absolutely! When I search thrift stores for tools, I look for "made in usa" because those tend to be well made antiques that work better than new.
For the mystery item I'd say pocket corkscrew maybe... for the wino on the go!
Or, maybe maybe for fencing, screw it into wooden fence posts and use it for an attachment point.
That item being used as an attachment point is a great idea.
I like your videos, I enjoy trying to guess and once in a blue moon I actually know. I’m an antique myself. Thanks for your vids.
Glad you like them!
I’ve known about swagger sticks (from those old movies, etc.) but had no idea there could be an actual use! My first thought when seeing it was “toad sticker” - an old comment about anything sharp, but it turns out I was close😁
I believe the tiny corkscrew opened a cork stoppered medicine bottle. I think I had one from a Listerine bottle.
That swagger stick might be illegal in some states. Be careful about taking it out and showing it around.
Yeah, don't go waving your swagger stick around in public...
@@Road_Rash Good one!
My guess for the last item is that it is a cork screw for small bottles. It's not only wine bottles that had corks, back in the old days. Medicines came in corked bottles. Probably other products as well, perfume, vanilla extract, etc. Any liquid substance sold in small bottles.
Agree completely!
I wonder if the corkscrew was sold with the bottle, or given out free by pharmacists. It seems cheaply made for an item that old, unless it was meant to be cheap and disposable.
I bet many of them got reused as eyebolt screws. Maybe there's some old barns with those screwed into the wall to use for hanging stuff.
My folks grew up during the Depression and taught me their skills at "redneck engineering". Almost everything has multiple uses if you're creative!
The last one was put into corks into usually patent medicine bottles. That way as soon as you left the store you could take a sip....🍭
❤❤❤ I really like your videos thank you
You are so welcome!
I have a set of Henckel's kitchen knives. Best knives I've ever used. There may be better, but I have encountered them.
That's a bandaid!! 😂😂
Last item: A wine cork remover.
My favorite game when I went to the swap meet with my mentor was “what is this and what does it do“ thank you. Good memories they don’t make them like they used to.👍🏻
they did not have keys on p o boxes until the 70s and then only on some. They were conversions from dial combination boxes. Some post offices still did not have keys when I retired in 2021! I worked on these for years.
He's correct about the key, and they were in use as early as he described. I've never been to any older (pre-1930) post office that has their original boxes which did not have keyed locks.
Found it:
This link says "Patent dates on these are 1878, 1880, 1891"
www.riverratantiques.com/listing/460107262/vintage-us-postmaster-po-box-lock-out
This one has a patent date stamped on the key, July 28, 1891.

And this one has Oct. 08, 1878, on it.

Thanks for watching!
@@outlookdaily1713 thank you, great info and news to me,! I retired after 32 years in the post office and I have never seen or heard of this key!
I repaired post office boxes for many years. I have never met a post master who ever mentioned such a key. I repaired and replaced locks on p.o. box doors and safe and door locks. You learn something new everyday. I would not be surprised if you showed that to any current postmaster that they would not know what it is. I will show a picture of it to my local post office just to see if they know what it is. Thank you again
👁👁 Happy to drop by.. 8:09
Thanks!
I remember someone showing me a similar item which he thought was a swordstick. The hilt and sheath were wood but it was obvious (to me) that it was a swagger stick. I have owned swordsticks snd even s sword umbrella but this was definitely a swagger stick.
What exactly is a swagger stick? Is it supposed to be just a thing to wave around to feel important?

Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed as usual.
Glad to hear it!
It pops some kinda 🍾 cork. For sure.
❤️👍❤️
Our well-informed narrator needs a little work on indian based names in the Northeast. It's not pronounced MOO-nah-chee but rather moo-NAH-key.
Unfortunately, not every Indian name is as easy to pronounce as Ho-Ho-Kus!
The narrator is actually a bot, a text to speech program.
@@jbrou123 Yes, the voice is AI but there's a real person as creator. I don't blame people for using AI voices because they've become quite good and few of us have voices that sound professional.
I hate my voice, and I removed one of my videos where I sang a rude song to my dog because I was embarrassed by how dumb I sound.
My dog liked the song though. He was named after the guy who wrote it, Blaze Foley.

"It's likely at least 100 years old"? If the company concluded it's manufacturing in 1920, then why say "likely"?
From Wikipedia "Swager stick"
"General George S. Patton carried a swagger stick throughout World War II; however, his contained a concealed blade, similar to a Victorian gentleman's sword cane."
