    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 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˜‚

      @brahms @raphv They are!

      .. usually extending to the other side.

      So nope, not door knobs.

      @Pepijn @brahms are they part of a bigger group? You could use 4 of these to serve as legs to some form of a raised platform or enclosure (maybe to ensure the flow of air underneath)

          @tal @Pepijn They do look like drawer pulls. But are they too small?

          Maybe they're towel or coat hooks?

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

            So nope πŸ™‚

                @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.
