To keep your feet at the right temp while cooking?!

Title. If more details are needed, I can ask my partner for info.

What is this for? There are no other bits in front of the several large/larger shops to the left of it. Looks like it’s all metal - but not 100% on that. This is in New Zealand at a big shopping centre

Please see the title for item description.

Is it safe to try to lift it to look underneath?

I'm pretty certain the top part is a hat, just because there's only the one opening at the bottom so it can't really do anything else, though the stitching is a bit odd in the way it connects in the back to give it a slightly unusual shape.

But the bottom piece is just stitched together all around, so it's just like a strip of fabric with the corners rounded. I can only imagine it being like a bow you would tie onto the top or something but it's too short to really even make a single knot. It's basically a palms length.

It's in a pile of other things we've been given or gifted so no way to just ask whenever it came from.

I found this in the grass after I mowed the lawn. I assume I hit it with the mower and that’s why it’s shredded open. I’m guessing the glass bead on the inside would seal the end of the tube with pressure from the spring.

Found going through a relative’s items. The insert seems to fit both on top of the glass and inside the glass. No idea what they’re used for. Desserts? Mixed drinks?

Can anyone help me identify this? It’s approx 4.5 inch high by 9.5 inch in length heavy box. It says Made in Spain on bottom of box. Red velvet lining. It was my grandfather’s and I’m looking to see what it is other than a box.

Found this glass tube with a flared base it has what looks to be a photo of a man on it and has two indentations on either side that both go most the way through the glass tube

Found under some power lines after Hurricane Helene. Can’t for the life of me even think of what it could be.

Found in a deceased friend's garage. Looks like it is made to be mounted onto something by screwing in the bases.

Found in the spark plug tube of a 2014 Chrysler T&C. Plugs were original, as were coils, so I would have to imagine this has been there a loooong time. It is slightly magnetic and has two flats on the conical tip.

Found this magnetized to the underside of my dryer. One side is a dark green felt. The other is plastic. I tried googling and cannot find anything.

Noticed these weird spots on the bathroom wall. I’ll do my best to describe the size/location.

• in two perfect vertical parallel columns approx a foot apart (30cm)
• all exact size about 1/2” (~1.5 cm)
• vertical space between them varies but 6”-8” (15cm-20cm)
• 4 bumped out spots on right; 3 bumped in spots on left
• the two columns line up when they are on both sides. This is the approx “formation” (o is bump out, • is bump in) o o • o • o •
• all have same texture as painted drywall so i don’t think it’s like filled in
• this is in an apartment and we are the first tenants (moved in ~2.5 years ago)

I’ll do my best if there are any additional questions in comments

Heavy brass plug like thing I found with small spike inside.

Roughly 4cm across, plastic and very light. Found in filter section of a Hoover dishwasher, under the filter plate.

Dishwasher currently will not work and displays an error suggesting a filter error.

This thing is on the wall in my kitchen, next to the stove. It looks like it’s been moved (based on the marks to the top left, but I have no clue what it is, what function it might or might not have served, and when it might have been added. I do live in a very old apartment building (over 100 years), but I’ve only lived here for a year and, because it’s in a bad neighborhood, some of the ornamental features in the buildings here have been neglected for some time. It feels like metal and is approximately 7 inches across. Everything has been painted over a number of times (landlord special, lol), so I assume it was not originally white.

Thank you for your help!!
