  1. Two more mystery tools.

    Actually we already identified the "S" one because @vaviurka knew it from her childhood in the village. But you can guess anyways :)

    The right one I have no clue, other than its homemade and was important enough to have two of them.

  6. @Rajiv This thing.

    It's very thick steel, and heavy. There is no sharp edge and never has been, all sides are flat and thick, including the angled tip.

    It has a turned handle, which is unusually fancy compared to all other tools in the barn. Its relatively short, maybe waist high.

    With the tip and the weight and the thick end (partially broken), I think maybe smashing a hole in the ice for fishing may have been what it was for.

    It's slightly crooked, which may have been from tool abuse as pry bar, or maybe it was made like that.

  11. What do we have here? I thought these were just rusted out side panels for a trailer, but this looks rather more complicated.

    Photo of a very faded label found on a rusty piece of steel, enhanced to make partially visible again.

  12. It's nearly time for the #Newsletter, which means it's time to get your #MysteryCoin guesses in if you haven't already!

    I do like coins which are interesting shapes, and while "square" (or "square with rounded corners") may not be the most interesting geometric shape normally, it is a more interesting shape when you look at coins as there aren't quite so many (there have only been 22 common circulating coins which are some form of square in the last 50 years) - but if you know this king and emperor, you'll know this particular coin wasn't one of them...

    So... we can read WHO he is.... but where is this coin from and when?

  17. What do we have here, apart from autofocus confusion?

    A clay tube, capped on one end and open on the other, but with a hole in the side of the capped end.

  18. I'm working on this fortnight's Newsletter. Have you guessed the #MysteryCoin yet?

    A pretty much Anepigraphic coin showing an Eagle - there is one letter on there too. It's not much to go on, so I'm going to give you one detail from the other side: 4.

  25. Shot in the dark, but does anyone know what this coffee maker's brand actually was? Is it based off a real product, or was it kinda bashed together?

    It scared the daylights out of me. I like spiders, but not when they are like this, but it was a part of a dog toy!

  27. In Czech Republic you quite often see a small roadside cluster of these banded poles with a metal “frisbee” like disk on top. I’ve never worked out what their purpose is.

    The poles in a cluster are together, but apparently randomly placed. They are different heights. They seem pretty old. The top thing is metal. It’s white with a red stripe on it.

  28. Not exactly sure what if this app has a split personality, but it doesn't hiccup.
    A multi-utility for [ sys admin ] remote / dev types. It works. So. What's the catch?

    “access entire server infrastructure from local machine. works on top of installed command-line programs; does not require any setup on remote; integrates with tools such as text/code editors, terminals, shells, command-line tools...
    - SSH connections, config files, and tunnels
    - **Kubernetes clusters, pods, and containers**
    - **Docker, Podman, and LXD** container instances located on any host ”

  40. I'm trying to recall the name of an old-fashioned "farm garden" flower that grows similarly to delphinuim/hollyhock/larkspur (tall stalks), but has a "word" for a name and not the usual flowery name.

    It's a rather plain flower in comparison, but a deep indigo w/ white.

    HELP!
