Everytime I go digging I find things that are well, not bottles. Some of it cooler then other things.

I have a lot more items like this then in these pictures, this is just a small portion of my smaller items.

I have a lot of what I think is called “primitive farm tools” and stuff as well.

I’ll be honest I don’t know what a lot of this stuff was so if anyone spots anything they recognize please share!

I guess since I’m a female I enjoy finding the make up/nail polish/ bath stuff etc... so I have a lot of those kinds of items. I also have a old lightbulb collection as well as an old fuse collection as shown. I keep it to display with my bottles and it looks pretty cool when photographing alongside your bottles.

Does anyone else have any cool finds to share? Am I collecting junk? Is there anything you spot that’s particularly interesting?

I’ve looked a few things up so I know a bit about certain items like the “baby seat deflector” (the large white thing in photo) which was for little boys who are learning to use the potty, the baby seat deflector would make sure the pee stayed in the toilet. Kind of an oddity really. Took me forever to find out what it was as I could only find ONE old advertisement for it and no one seemed to have one. At least online lol.

Also some stuff makes really cool wall hangings!

Some Interesting Junk. But sometimes what you think might be Junk may be Valuable. The white Porcelin Beer Stopper can sometimes be valuable with certain Brewery names printed on top of them. I find & keep all kinds off odd stuff. Doll heads or parts can be creepy though. LEON.

I keep that sort of stuff too, even if most of it isn't worth anything it's still interesting. If you didn't already know, your blue ceramic thing is called a radio strain insulator. They come in all sorts of different colours, in both glass and porcelain. Also looks like you found Casper the Friendly Ghost, that must be from pretty early in the character's history!

I put all my doll parts in museum specimen jars and put them out at Halloween. Also strung some of them up to hang at Halloween.
