Miniature key

Image
With most of the obscure items I come across I tend to look them up on Google if I don’t know what they are already or want to find out more about them. As for this one all I know is it’s a key. I thought it belonged to Barbie doll for example but it didn’t, and as there are an infinite amount of toys out there I gave the search up pretty quickly otherwise I’d be there for hours!  

Arm belonging to a robot

Image
I’m suspecting this is an arm belonging to a robot or an action figure.  

Charm Bracelet

Image
As I mentioned earlier with another similar find bracelets and rings too are very commonly lost items. This one being particularly nice so I’ve advertised it on a local lost and found website.  

Shopping List

Image
I’m often coming across these and like to pick them up as some can be quite interesting. This one I suspect belongs to a medical person as on the reverse there is information about checking for unconsciousness in patients.  

Kinder Surprise Empty Egg shell

Image
These are fairly common, just packaging for the ‘surprise’ inside the chocolate egg; besides kids don’t want something inedible and once the surprise has been put together it can’t be rehoused within its shell. Even less common, although I’ve found at least two with the ‘surprise’ inside and intact.

‘ L aughing G as’ canisters found in city Found two of these metal bottle shaped canisters not far from the city. They’re laughing gas or hippy crack as they contain nitrous oxide. If inhaled could be fatal. They’re meant to be used by the medical profession to numb the pain of patients. Artists Gilbert and George’s exhibition in London 2014 bought these to my attention as they feature a lot round where they live in Whitechapel, East London. To find out more about the drug go to: https://www.talktofrank.com/drug/nitrous-oxide#how-it-feels However after all that perhaps they could simply be a co2 cartridge to inflate a bike tyre as they look much the same.

Common sweet wrapping find on pavement.   

Hugh’s Smiley badge

  Found dropped along a pavement. 

Volkswagen Car Badge

Image
Not that rare to come across a detached car badge as they’re easily replaceable online; expensive too and I’ve found a Nissan before now.   

Aliens have Landed!

Image
  Caught this one today just about to invade the local super market! Others hadn’t managed to survive having been trampled on and now lay in crushed blasts across my path. The last time I’d come across their attempt at concurring our planet they hadn’t survived as they’d chosen the wrong day to land as they quickly perish in wet weather. I watched them slowly becoming indistinguishable piles of mush until there was nothing left of them having been on this earth at all.

Top Trumps Make your Own Animal card

Image
Well I’m not surprised this one got separated from the rest of its Top Trump pack as the owner had to be creative and make his own up; clearly lacks creativity and talent or simply too lazy to try?!
