A Victorian Tea Party "Alms for the Rich" sterling-silver collection device. If you wnated to stroll on the privatized side-walk in certain neighborhoods, you placed your offering (not a tax) in this device which was affixed to boxes outside the brownstones or you just didn't need to be walking there. The system was enforced by the Pinkerwater Security Agency.

Lawn-cutting sturrups for road crews. Before mechanical lawn mowers, operators would ride horses at full gallop with these on the shoulders and medians of roads.

It's a door-to-door salesman's tool. It ofen comes with strrl-toed shous for getting your foot in the door when the customer slams it. The hook is a lever to pry the door open the rest of the way and the trowel part is used to butter the customer up with.

It's a ball drop, like in Times Square or Greenwich Observatory. This one happens to drop when it's Thursday.

Try that again...

That’s a relic from Los Alamos- it’s a plutonium orb last. The strips of sub-critical enriched plutonium are hammered together on this frame to make the core of nuclear devices.

These are Kool-Aid goggles, used at a 1966 Greatful Dead Acid Test. Pop the shades down and everything's beautiful!
Beer goggles just didn't work there.

That is an old one- It's a Cambrian Era Hallucigenia sparsa fossil dug out of the Burgess Shale. What makes this specimen unusual was how the soft tissues were replaced by an iron matrix instead of the more common stone.
