The first item is definitely not caltrops. Caltrops are more like dozens of small, 3 sided pyramids with a sharpened spike at each point. In this configuration there is always 1 spike pointing straight up no matter how they are thrown on the ground. If you step on it it will pierce your foot. Whatever that is pictured has more than 4 corners; none of them are sharpened and none of them point directly up. If you play D and D think of a D4 and you'll know how caltrops work. This is the first time I've seen you miss. Sorry for the correction.
I would say that even without sharp spikes, I wouldn’t want a horse of mine to step on one of those. Wedged in a hoof they could certainly cause lameness. On the other hand, he said that the large ones weighed 3 pounds, which doesn’t sound like a reasonable size for a caltrops, and I don’t know what function the tab would ply. I’m inclined to think this is probably not a correct identification.
Caltrops have been around since the Middle Ages at least. Stop sticks and similar devices used by police were inspired by them. Seen several similar sewing tables on Antiques Road Trip, along with travel kits like the one at 5:30.
The last item looks exactly like the nut and bolt that hold the knuckle guards on the handlebars of my diet bike. The nut bites onto the inside of the handlebars when the bolt is tightened.
The caltrops are caltrops. We produced them in Ohio near where you bought them. They aren't as old though. They are from the 1920s 30s and for stopping old Time cars like "stop sticks" do today .. police would use them single or in chains of them stretching across roads
Always interesting to see items from other times! I have a friend who is passionate about anything antique and he just can't get enough of your videos! 📮 I have a small suggestion, in the same vein as the one suggesting you to put the last item of the previous video in the first spot of the next: • in the thumbnail, could you put the last mystery item from the previous video on the left and the last item of the current video on the right? This would create a visual continuity from one video to the next. This would also be a great way for people who binge watch your videos to make it easy for them to figure out the correct viewing order. Thank you again for creating this channel; it's a wonderful idea!
The first object is not a Caltrop. Firstly it does not have any spikes and second it has that weird hook that would not serve any purpose in that use. I do not know what it is, maybe a car spring tool like someone said in the previous video.
I’d hate to step on them. I have a lot of knowledge about cars and have never seen anything like this in a car spring in all my years. If you are right I would like to no what sort of car. Cheers John. 👍🇦🇺
@@John-nl4lt any car that has coil spring suspension. Before struts were used. I’m not 100% sure that is what they are,but they look alike. It’s prolly something silly off a movie set or something.

I agree, They do not look like caltrops to me.
At 7' it looks more like saint Michael, as there is no horse.
I have two of the Pitch Setter tools for saws. One is for hand saws and the other for buck saws.
Last object is a pressure regulator for a steam radiator.

2:20 THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always wondered what that thing is, I have one and have pondered it's usage several times!

Hollow wall set tool. Lead anchor set tool.
The last item looks like something that goes on the legs of machinery or other heavy appliances for leveling the legs and appliance.

Doesnt make sense. Too heavy, and many of those cars were fully capable of crossing rough terrain.
As a 'caltrop', theyre a fail.

That's another good idea, thanks!
It’s a alarm for either a burglar or a fire alarm I think .
I think the last item is a wire attachment for a telephone post or an electric fence missing the insulation, often ceramic or glass.
Last object looks like an insulator for an electric fence.
Yes, that's what I was thinking too. An electric insulator of some sort.
No, it's a German Druck Zunder . A type of fuse used in mines in WW2
1:35- The sewing table has a curtain or "lampshade" to block views of a lady's legs when table was used in the middle of the room.
👁👁 😋 8:06
I wonder if the last object it the replicable top for a hydraulic cylinder bottle jack???
Its a druck zunder. A ww2 German mine fuze
@@anonymous-sus406 Tell outlook, that's what he put on the next video for an explanation of the item.

This one has the same little protrusion on it.

@@outlookdaily1713 Yeah I may be wrong XD

Goes between the coil springs,,if thats the correct tool
The last item is a German Druck Zunder, a fuse that was used on mines and such in WW2
The unknown item is a detonator for a land mine, most definitely a antitank one.. German manufacture..
