This tool, also resembling a torture device, was actually used in the kitchen. It was designed to break eggshells easily so people could enjoy a soft-boiled egg without making a massive mess trying to crack the shell. These are called egg toppers, and they’re actually useful kitchen tools.
8. Mystery Items that Resemble other Common Items
The item in question semi-resembles a popular children’s toy, the Top, or a pendulum used to regulate a clock and by spiritual individuals as a tool for healing. However, it’s actually a type of “plumb bob”, used for measuring the length of things like depth or height.
9. Brick Poorly Laid
With such fine craftsmanship put into homes and buildings, stumbling upon a seemingly poorly laid foundation can be confusing. However, there’s a reason for this “outcropping,” and it’s very much intentional. It turns out these mystery items are actually meant to drain spouts, absorbing water from roofs and from inside the structure.
10. Mystery Items Found In Matches
This odd but very cool piece of history came in handy back in the day when nearly everyone smoked, and lighters weren’t as readily available. It’s actually a pin to stick on a shirt and also holds a match. Therefore, it is very handy to have once upon a time.
People have been around for a while, creating nifty objects designed to make everyday life easier. However, with the ever-changing world in which we live, mystery items are bound to be uncovered occasionally. Likely hidden in the depths of dirt in backyards, basements, garages, and other forgotten-about places that are just a mirror glimpse of what once was.
