Want to play a game?

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

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

@Pepijn they look a bit like doorknobs, although depending on the scale of the picture they'd have very small handles or very big threads.

@Pepijn look like paddock stand bobbins.

For screwing into a motorbike swing arm so it can be placed on a paddock stand

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

@Pepijn knobs for ikea kitchens

@raphv @Pepijn was my first thought as well, but arent doorknobs usually extending to the other site (at least that reflects 100% of my experiences with doorknobs)?

[pepijn@mastodon.online]

@brahms @raphv They are!

.. usually extending to the other side.

So nope, not door knobs.

[pepijn@mastodon.online]

@Eurospoofer nope

[joel@chaos.social]

@Pepijn made of aluminium? To be used on a boat?

[wylan@xoxo.zone]

@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

[raphv@social.edu.nl]

@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)

[pepijn@mastodon.online]

@raphv @brahms Nope. They can work individually.

[spiegelmama@infosec.exchange]

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

Maybe they're towel or coat hooks?

[pepijn@mastodon.online]

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

So nope

@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

Hooks for hanging garments?

[nblr@chaos.social]

@Pepijn Reel-too-reel tape guides?

[timo_micro@scicomm.xyz]

@Pepijn cufflinks for an engineer

[pepijn@mastodon.online]

@grb090423 Yup! They're coat hooks
