the gorget is not a German field police ( Feldgendarmerie ) one it is a Heer (Army) Standard Bearer Gorget dates from about 1936
The paper plates are casting molds for leadtype used in printing (a cylinder press - fast for newspapers). In Danish it would be something like stereotypi. First you set the types on a typesetting machine, e.g. a Linotype. Then you assemble the type and autotypes (images) for the entire page in a form (a galley I think in English). You then press the page into wet paper to make a positive cast (what you have here). When dry you make a negative cast in type metal. The plate can then be bent into the (partial) cylinder shape used for printing. In fact you can make several casts for running more than one press.
Yes, I remember seeing these in my youth, but I thought they were a plastic of some sort.
About 60 years go I worked in a newspaper office that used letterpress printing presses. I recognized that right away. I still know Joe to make a newsprint hat that the pressmen made. The only problem is that newspapers have shrunk so much that it is no longer,possible to use the pages to fashion a hat that would fit.
The plate is not bent - the paper mould is bent and the plate is cast as a half cylinder.
@@keninglis7060 You are right.
I'm not sure but the last item are master printing plates. I would assume they're very valuable. Let us know after you contact the Smithsonian. I so do remember where I was for both of these events occurred. I was a preteen for the moon landing and 18 when I watched Nixon resign
Definetly printer's matts. These are called Positives and were used to make the negative plates used on the printing presses, mostly newspapers.
Came to say the same.
The printing pieces are made of what in the UK is referred to as flong. It is like a type of felt. The positive impression on them is made from the negative hot metal, probably linotype, page forms. The flong is then used to cast the metal curved plates to fit on the rotary presses. I used to have small examples of each stage that my dad had made for me when he worked as a linotype compositor in Fleet Street.
Oh thanks for explaining the process!
Comment, not really a correction, at least relative to the newspaper I worked at in the early 1960s. The flongs were usually referred to as mats at that newspaper, and they were made of a paper/cardboard material.
The fact that those two were saved, when they were usually thrown away after the plates were molded, shows that someone had a sense of the significance of the historic events.
@@memyname1771 I don't know what the flong was made of but once heated and compressed it did resemble extremely rigid cardboard.
The item at around 3.45 is a japanise ink snap line used to lay out walls and foundations during construction. The spool holds the string and the bowl holds the ink. I used one in Hawaii while working for a japanise contractor.
Last Item The printing plates would be fairly rare, almost unique, but I don't know how valuable they would be.
I guess the plates of any day of any year would be equally rare because, there'd only be one. Those select dates shown would certainly drive the value, but they're only worth what someone is willing to pay.
P.S. The Mace head would have originally had a wire wound haft and the fore head would stick out as a spike. Beating an enemy with a mace will eventually cause a break at the juncture of haft and head, thus the head falls to the ground and becomes a caltrop. The receding force is then offered a delay of potentially advancing cavalry, as equipment failures may plague attacking forces. Reference can be found in "The Complete Use and Decoration of Arms and Armor" publication.
Last one is a positive/master used to make printing plates to be used in a drum press to print news papers. Not rare per say, but, most are destroyed and the material recycled for the next edition.
As those are for important historical events, they ARE precious and very valuable.
Handle with the greatest care. If you are not sure that you can properly take care of them, then, by all mean, give them to a museum. I'd say, accept the offer from the Smithsonian Museum.
Except for the miserable robo-voice and many mispronunciations, I love seeing all these unusual items - and some I can even recognize! It’s just really hard to get around thot “voice”! Can’t afford a real human????
Having listened to it so often now, I find it kind of endearing. With all of the AI-voiced videos out there, where you can't tell if it's actually a person or not, this one is almost nostalgic. Which is quite appropriate, given most of the objects on the channel.
Recognized the top of the Hoosier cabinet right off. I've long wanted one myself.
As a RevWar reenactor, I recognized the gorget. They've been around for centuries, and are a reduced version of a medieval knight's neck armor.
Fascinating!
the last item was the metal that was used for newspapers, the printer would ink them and transfer the ink to the newspaper. newspapers were daily so these are 1 of a kind items. i can see why the smithsonian would show interest, if you donate them you could possibly take a tax write off as a charitable contribution
I had one of those newspaper printing pages but it was from comics. Back in the day, one could tour factories and all kinds of interesting places to see how things were made and I was given the matt from a place that printed newspapers.
I only recognised one object today, the gorget.
Welp I batted 'bout zero on this adventure, how many folks thought of gloves on the battery/gravity cell one? I have a great fondness for mysterious objects, this channel makes me happy :)
In WWI, the Germans produced a very similar iron mace head for use in trench raids. It would fit on the wooden handle of a stick grenade. You can purchase modern reproductions in brass or iron from Cult of Athena, among others.

Is it really that difficult to have a actual person read the damn script. Damn AI or whatever you want to call it is really really really annoying. Soon as a vid starts, if it's AI i go to another video. Hate to miss out on some of the vids i have to pass on but it really hurts my brain. Someone obviously took the time to write the script so just read it. Thumb down. Next.........
Is the enamel work surface beneath the Hoosier Cabinet part of the whole? There were several manufacturers of this type of furniture. I have a Coppes Napanee Dutch Kitchenet cabinet c1936 in the basement.
Yes, there was always a base which had a door and drawers and the enameled surface slid onto that and then the upper piece was screwed onto the sides of the base at the top with a special bracket. I still use one in my kitchen but it's a Sellers. Used to have one just like in the vid, an actual Hoosier with the flour sifter, herb/spices lazy susan and the sugar bin. They also came with a bread/cutting board that slid out from under the enameled work surface, and one of the drawers at the bottom was tin lined, for a breadbox.
@@crowznest438 Next question: What is a Hoosier? 🤔
@@thetwentiethman3008 Is just the name of one of the companies that made these baking cabinets in the early 1900s (located in Indiana).
@@thetwentiethman3008 )Or. perhaps you are referring to someone from Indiana..
News Plates, shade bragging?
YES! valuable. It's the plate that they printed the greatest achievement of our species with. Also that Nixon crook....whatever.
