The stick with the iron ball 3:30 is a shipbuilding tool for smoothing the tarred deck seams in a wooden sailing ship. The fender hitching grips are traditional sailor's rope work and the dark coloration is evidence of the pine tar it was used in conjunction with. In use, the ball end is heated and run down the lengths of the deck planking seams after molten pitch is "payed" into them.
The name of the tool is a "Loggerhead" after the sea turtle with the round, bulbous head and it is where the expression "come to loggerheads" is derived, meaning to "come to blows".
@@UguysRnutsoh I always wondered how that term originated, since turtles aren’t known to be the most angry of animals. I thought it was an expression of two parties being stubborn and unable to come to an agreement which I can imagine about turtles.
@@PeachysMom Generally docile, but don't put your hands anywhere near a Snapping Turtle! Just like the "Belaying Pin" meant for tying off halyards but also something sailors would resort to in hand to hand combat, the Loggerhead was an effective improvised weapon with a dual purpose.
@@UguysRnuts oh definitely - snapping turtles are scary lol. They’re often crossing the road near my house and you have to push them out of the road so they don’t get flattened. I use a branch or stick to keep my distance. Snapping turtles are permanently angry, and they do not express any gratitude when you save them lives! The nerve 😂
It looked like you discovered a very interesting niche.Keep up the good work.The channel will grow.There are a lot of people interested in the past good luck
Oddly enough, I knew what the knobkerrie is. As for the veterinarian, I think that device is used to concentrate odors coming from an animal as an aid to detecting diseases, disorders, or infections. I have no idea what it is called.
Except this is not a "knobkerrie". This appears to have an iron ball as it's head. The native club you refer to would have used a hardwood ball in it's place. This tool is a "Loggerhead", used for melting pitch, repelling boarders and heating a Rum Flip beverage.
Metalsmith here. Not so sure about the sugar hammer idea. Reasonably sure your hammer is for metal forming. I have a number of similar hammers used for making tin, copper, brass, and steel forms, and for doing bodywork on automobiles. Nice round flat-nosed head for planishing on one end, nice cross-peen head a curved angle on the other end. Long heads for reaching inside curved areas like bowls or fenders more easily. Would love to use that hammer. Bet the balance and weight are superb!
@@MI-MysteriousItem Furthermore, the diagram you used of a hollow bomb with a hinged lid is a completely different device and your mention of these being dropped by "fast moving airplanes" is RUBBISH as the only factors governing striking force would be it's weight and the terminal velocity produced by gravity, minus aerodynamic drag.
Hello! I mainly find interesting items here: www.reddit.com/r/whatisthisthing You can create a post there, and plenty of people will try to help figure out what your item is. You can also send me photos and a description at photo.yt.997@gmail.com, and I’ll try to identify it myself. If you post on Reddit, feel free to send me the link to your post as well.
@@MI-MysteriousItem Although that is not the intended purpose of the tool, a "Loggerhead", like a "belaying pin" would do double duty as a weapon in hand to hand combat aboard ship. It's original purpose is for heating tar/pitch and smoothing the seams between deck planking. "Coming to Loggerheads" describes the point in an argument where words fail and violence is resorted to.
Not a knob kERrie, but a knop kIErie, the k is pronounced in knop, and kierie is pronounced ki-ri. It means knobbed cane. It is not a Zulu word, but Afrikaans/Dutch.

I'm curious-what do you think the tube the vet is holding is for? Share your ideas in the comments!🤔(Thanks to *Justme Me* for the interactive idea!)
It's for smelling the animal to determine if there is illness or infection.
This is my favorite game. The vet is checking for flees by their smell
That first one is obviously the world’s tiniest V2 rocket! Heinz Haber and Willie Ley were thinking small at the time… 😂
They used to drop barrel loads of them during the war! I saw a barrel of them at a surplus near burbank in the 70,s .
The Army/Navy store at 6th and Beacon in San Pedro used to have quite a few, also.
the last tool seems to be a way to smell a dog but from a distance since many dogs hate strangers smelling them from close distance. just a guess.
The hoop on the glass rod for the reusable ice cubes was for lifting them by the "beak" to put them in and take them out of a drink.
That’s a very interesting guess! It’s most likely true.
My mother had a powder compact with matching lipstick case. Pieces of art.
Another informative video 👏

@@PeachysMom TREWTH! I caught one as a kid about a foot across and put it in a wooden crate. It chewed through the slats in about five minutes flat!

Thank you so much for sharing this information!
I have several of them.
first item is also called Flechettes
"Flechette" is the singular, though I disagree that this is what it is.
Last one is probably from an advertisement.
It's a plumb bob
that is a lazy dog a razer finned device used for cutting leaves and other cover and people if they were there. used against the VC in the 60S.
Yes, you’re absolutely right.
@@MI-MysteriousItem You're absolutely wrong! Where are the "razor(sic)" fins and how would you expect such tiny blades to cut foliage???

Interesting video Happy to drop by…👋
Thank you!
how do you know she's a vet?
That’s just my guess, I’m not totally sure.
Hmm...she has a dog on an examination table and a stethoscope in her pocket. I don't think she's there to prune the hedges or unclog the toilet.
the last 1, the woman with the hose to her noise is a positional "animal fart smeller".
How doi send you a picture of a item

The thumbnail left picture looks like an Irish sheleighly
Yes, it really does look quite similar!
@@MI-MysteriousItemit's a fukos not a sugar hammer.
Shillelagh.

Thank you for the clarification!
@@MI-MysteriousItem The article shown is NEITHER a "knob kERrie"(sic) nor a "knop kIErie"(sic). It is a LOGGERHEAD. You're welcome.
Dum dums, used to drop from WW1 biplanes.
Voice is snarky. Why? And music very annoying. You've got a great video here, a good script. Yet you find a way to ruin it.
Thanks a lot for the constructive criticism. I’ll work on improving it.
