🕵️ Mystery Items of the Week! Can You Help Us Identify These 5 Items?

Every once in a while, something lands in our hands that stops us in our tracks. It might be an oddly shaped tool, a vintage kitchen gadget, or a piece of hardware that looks more like alien tech than anything you’d find in a toolbox.

This week, we’ve collected five mystery items from attics, estate sales, thrift stores, and forgotten drawers. And now, we need your help to identify them!

So grab your magnifying glass and put on your detective hat—it’s time for Mystery Items of the Week!

🧩 Item #1: The Curved Claw with a Wooden Handle

This first item looks like something between a garden tool and a back scratcher. It has a smooth wooden handle, and a single curved metal claw, almost like a tiny sickle.

Possibilities:

• Vintage leatherworking tool?
• Old-school seed planter?
• Miniature carpet stretcher?

Do you recognize it?

🧲 Item #2: Metal Disc with Holes and a Rotating Center

Next up is a small, round metal disc—slightly rusted, with a rotating centerpiece and a series of perfectly cut holes around the edge. It looks mechanical, but too small for heavy machinery.

Guesses so far:

• Antique rotary cheese grater part
• Dial for a lock or safe
• Measuring wheel for fabric?

This one’s got us stumped!

🔧 Item #3: Heavy Iron Hook with Threaded End

This item is solid, about 6 inches long, with a thick hook on one end and threading on the other. It’s clearly designed to screw into something—but what?

Could it be:

• Part of an old barn pulley system?
• Vintage meat hook?
• Industrial crane hook?

Farmers, mechanics, and blacksmiths—chime in!

🧁 Item #4: Tin Mold with Petal-Like Edges

This one’s a bit more charming. It’s a small tin mold, shaped almost like a flower with petal-shaped fluted edges. Too small to be a cake pan—too fancy for ice cubes.

Our hunches:

• 1930s jelly mold?
• Butter or sugar mold for tea parties?
