"Found this metal item in my junk drawer. The top “screw” is hollow and screws into the bullet-looking thing. Penny for scale."
A: "I think this is part of a cable display system.
Bit on the right – that gets screwed to a wall or ceiling, with the screw coming out of the hole closest to us in your picture.
Bit on the left – the wire goes though the hole at the bottom, and is then crimped off so it cant fall out. The entire body then screws onto the ‘bit on the right’ and the two holes in the side are to take up tension."

#15 is a souvenir Zulu battle regalia. The spear is an assegai, the wooden stick a knobkierie and the shield a Nguni shield. Though it is mostly ceremonial these days. It was mostly used during the time of Shaka Zulu.

Hannah, A shaving scuttle is a double walled, ceramic bowl used to keep soap lather warm and ready for multiple passes. It is used by filling the bottom bowl with hot water and building a thick soap/cream lather in the upper bowl.
