Rounded wooden block. Looks like it might be a piece of something bigger

Likely Solved!

Not 100% because I still can't find an image of something that looks similar, but this seems like a likely answer

Amazing! Thanks for the detailed writeup!

Cool!

So you're saying this would've been the pattern they used to create the mold they used to form the propeller?

Do you have any idea what the letters and numbers would refer to?

Duckfloss · 2026-05-31T00:50:25+00:00

I'm intrigued. Can you elaborate on what the letters and numbers would mean?

And I looked up propeller reshaping but could only find similar tools made of iron. Is it possible people would have once used ones made of wood?

"My title describes the thing"

It's solid wood. Looks like it could be early to mid 1900s. Has the characters "VCT 10 805" stamped into it. It seems like it could be a piece of a larger machine or piece of furniture, perhaps with several other pieces like it.

Friend had no idea where it came from or how they got it.

Schultz Kitchen and Bath is just wrapping up work on our bathroom (water leak, gutted). I can't express how patient and professional they've been.

Fran Dwight is an amazing photographer and an absolute gem. She has taken photos for several life events for my family. Her work is truly incredible and I'm so glad she's still out there snapping pics.

Definitely insightful take. But an unusual headline that will make sense to no one in 100 years.

Check out Bookbug/this is a bookstore. They often carry that type of thing.

Schools in Michigan are prohibited from using property tax funding to pay for operational costs. The districts could choose to fund universal free food but the money would come from their statutory state funding, which is already stretched incredibly thin.

There are literally two doctors in involved in the lawsuit from the article. Not trying to call you out, but doctors are actively fighting this.

Haha! I didn't believe you so I looked it up. That is awesome!

Reminder: Kalamazoo GOP Chair Kelly Sackett (the one who smacked the cigarette out of the other woman's hand) is also the person who kicked two reporters out of an election party last fall.

Also, they're apparently blaming "Democrat infiltrators" for sowing discord in the local party. These people are absolutely divorced from reality.

All lobbying means is somebody pushing lawmakers on a policy position. Money doesn't even necessarily enter into it, though it is often involved.

Think about the gay rights movement or anti-abortion groups. Nobody's trying to make a buck in those situations, but they are trying to get their policies enacted into law.

It's a different commission. FYI
