    @Pepijn they look a little like these pegs in the door jam that our sliding door latches onto. I have no idea what those are called πŸ˜‚

    @wylan Ooh good one. Our sliding door has something similar. Less refined though.

      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 Feet for smallish electronic devices - meters of some type, or maybe audio equipment

        @Pepijn
        I think I've seen something like that on flat pack furniture - they push into a hole and another rotating piece locks/captures them? Would explain the visible scratch marks.

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

                        - 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.
