Found on the Folly - Assortment of "Oxidised" Objects

 I've found these, some I can identify but the other's are mysteries.  Maybe someone can tell me what they are.



1.  2 round objects - identified as wheels from a vintage Oldsmobile plastic car

2.  Stick of Graphite I think

3.  Horseshoe, circa unknown

4.  Unidentified round object

5.  Top of a sardine tin

6.  Round flat disk, unidentified

7.  Brass door poull?

8.  Unidentified round object

9.  Half a jar lid

10.  Unidentified round rusted thingy-me-bob

11.  Filing cabinet marker?

12.  Looks like a chess piece or an ornate gate decoration

13.  Little spoked wheel of a toy cannon

14.  iron ore (slag) or leftover welding blob?

15.  Old door latch

16.  above little wheel, unidentified piece of metal

17.  This is the most interesting unidentified object,  I have no idea.  Mrs Acton says, maybe a hook for handing up something like a lantern

18.  Unidentified round object

19.  Top of a vintage cold drink tin

20.  Object above brass knocker.  It might be an old battery ( this is why we should not throw batteries         in the trash, we should take them to be disposed of safely)

21.  The biggest rusted object, the side mirror of a car.  Which one, I don't know!


If you know what any of these are, please let me know

Found on the Folly - 4 May 2021 - 2 Unidentified round objects


Unidentified round objects


I found 2 flat round plastic objects, there seems to be a piece of metal in the middle of each object.

Do you know what they are?

Mr Bechet thinks it's the wheel's of an old vintage toy, the metal in the middle is the remains of the axle.



Mr Bechet you were absolutely correct!



Found this online, check out the wheels, but not exactly.

I think I found a toy that had those wheels, circa 1950's

Forged from the Folly - ShardArt "Ibutho-Warrior"

 

This is what you get when you glue together a fossilised twisted tube of Brylcream (Circa 1900's) a Champion sparkplug from Canada H-10 (Circa 1950)  and a metal tube that housed a glass insulin vial from Copenhagen (Circa 1923) - (oh and a knife - Circa unknown, modern), most probably from Sable Hostel, sorry Mr Hillock)

A WARRIOR!!
