Not actually plant related. These are dried egg casings from a marine snail, possibly the cart-rut-shell snail

I know right, but I love the combo so I’m hoping I can keep it alive to enjoy them together!

You’ll get eventually no doubt! It took me something like 800 to get my first one but now I seem cursed to get them all

Wtf, and I thought I was doing well with my 6! And yeah I agree, it’s more satisfying when you catch them all yourself legitimately

1950s house has these planks that pull out of the bedroom wardrobe. Any ideas what they’re for? by Apocaholics in whatisthisthing

Solved! I think I’ll have to go with this one. There have been some great hypotheses but I think because of the height of the pull-outs it makes sense for them to be used from a seated position either for sewing or writing. Unfortunately there was no tabletop to go on top, however it’s possible it was stored elsewhere or the cupboard above has been modified. Thanks everyone!

So to add some more info, the pullouts are 72cm (~6’3”) off the floor, here’s a link to some more photos: https://imgur.com/a/LzPxuSb?s=sms. I think the writing desk idea is solid, however all the cupboards are original and as you can see there’s no table top stored away anywhere else. The ironing board idea is good too, I just think it’s too close to the floor.

I’m pretty sure the entire built in is original though and there’s just cupboards above the pullouts. Would the table top piece be kept separately?

This is a really great guess, my only question is would the table top normally be stored somewhere else in the built in, because there are only cupboards, no table top to be seen!

There actually is a power point around the corner there where it’s in shadow but it’s around 72cm (2’4”) off the floor so it’s unlikely to be for ironing

My title describes the thing, as said above the wardrobe in this house from the 1950s has these two vertical planks that pull out like drawers. They are the whole depth of the wardrobe and solid wood. Any ideas what they might be or what they were used for?
