5 items, the purpose of which is difficult to guess

Some of the items that I will show you today have gone out of use some funny 30-35 years ago, but today we are unlikely to guess and remember why they were needed.

What's interesting: almost all of the items from this collection were found at different times during repairs in a country house or in a country house!

And today's youth have even less chances to guess: many of these things have never been seen.

1. A horn for drinks or a souvenir from Gus-Khrustalny?

What versions do you have?

Let me tell you right away: two ideas from the title to this subject are not true.

By the way, I myself have always believed that this is a horn for drinks, which we are used to seeing at Caucasian feasts.

However, in reality, it is a vase for a car. When there were no car fragrances (did everyone remember the Christmas tree?), A vase with fresh flowers was placed in the salon. Like this:

2. A tip for breaking eggs or the head of a pencil for hitting glass during Soviet meetings?

If it was an Easter egg breaking device, I would have every chance of winning.

In fact, in the last century, such a weighty pencil head was used by office workers - accountants and personnel officers - in order to conveniently dial a phone number on a rotary telephone.

3. A strange weapon from the Middle Ages

This version was given by a seven-year-old nephew.

In fact, it is a very handy splitting device. during interrogations two things: Sahara (there used to be loafs of sugar, not sand or refined sugar) and ice (once there were no familiar ice molds).

4. Butter whisk?

This unusual device is nothing more than a children's washing machine from England. Glass transparent walls were needed in order to explain to children how the machine works and what vortices of water are created in it.

5. Disc with numbers

If you thought it was a prototype drum from the Field of Miracles show, then you are in... past.

In fact, this exhibit is from Germany, and it was used as an adding machine - a primitive calculator of that time.
