    Here's a photo showing some dimensions. Main body is 23mm. The thread 5 or 6mm.

          Want to play a game? Here's a photo of two identical machined stainless steel objects. Can you figure out what they are and where they're from?

          I *think* both questions can be answered but lets see!

          If you like this idea please boost the post to reach more players πŸ™‚

          UPDATE: 1/2 They're indeed high quality coat hooks. Now where are they from?

          @Pepijn look like these little nubs from the back fork of a motorcycle to pick it up for maintenance.

              @Pepijn
              - too small for doorknobs
              - too small for cabinet feet
              - too big for electronic equipment feet.
              - scratched. Someone (you?) needed pliers (what's combinatietang in English) too get it out.

              Intended as hooks for hanging something with a cord on?

              Machining in the middle bit is a bit coarse. A machining exercise?

                @nblr @Pepijn Or pulleys in some sort of tensioning system I.e. to regulate the speed of a drill press or lathe? The cones certainly hint at a belt that needs to slip onto the cylindrical part.

                      If they were 5/8" diameter, and the thread was 1/4", they could be used at a pinch to put a camera on a lighting stand, coathanger or not.

                                @mattdawhit Nope. While similar these are very much for a "less destructive" home setting. Not having the support to deal with heavy / crude weights etc.

                                        @RolfBly Correct! They're from a train! Toilet area. Congratulations πŸŽ‰

                                        Not an NS train.

                                        I'll update the main post and see if people can figure out the train type and location.
