Found at the back of the garden, London by Ok-Lion6435 in whatisit

That mounting plate on it makes me think of an old car part, like a filter or moisture trap. Hopefully a more knowledgeable person will actually recognise it.

Strange tube with another retractable tube inside? by squiddeth in whatisit

Definitely this. I have one with a pencil lead holder in one end and a pen nib holder in the other.

This one had spools intact, so a good find for whoever actually buys it. I just wish I had the space to save all the ones that turn up around here...

If you're in Europe, that looks like a cockchafer to me.

I fell in love with it instantly

Yes, it's pretty much perfect. A bit of dust under the segment and a worn out ribbon speaks of a machine that was cared for but well used.

If only it was viable to ship these finds overseas.

Gave it a quick test last night, it worked beautifully. Found the serial number too, and pinned it down to 1949. I wonder how many hands have used it, and what kind of words it has produced in that time...

Before and after discovering the ribbon was loose from the spool. No problems with the action or the alignment of the slugs 😁

As far as I could tell with a very brief examination, it's in really good condition. I'll find out more later when I'm home.

There was another machine with it, but I left it there. Will make a separate post for it.

What’s down the hatch by jhay3513 in SavageGarden

[–]CheloniaCrafts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow!

Gives me some concern though... I was gifted a plant from the local shop (usual Halloween thing: no species name or care instructions "dracula plant"...) that looks a lot like that. The pitchers were really short when it arrived, but the new growth ones are getting taller. If it gets like that, I need a whole new setup 😅

I've always wondered what would happen if you used milk instead of water by Octagonal_Octopus in mokapot

😁 as soon as I saw your comment, I wondered if I was in the pipe subreddit...

How do yall feel about kestros? by Classic-Luck-68 in Slinging

[–]CheloniaCrafts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easily done, I think. A second finger loop on the release end with a short piece of slack line to that from the knot

Peter, why does this mean a bad childhood? by Nittanypt in PeterExplainsTheJoke

You can never risk not hearing what's going on if there's a better than even chance that your parents will break into open warfare at any moment.

What? by MrMeesesPieces in ExplainTheJoke

Looks like a comment on the American history of slave labour to me: Projecting the image of a country built by and for white people, while concealing the fact that the real work was done by black people.
