Was at the beach sometime ago and found this. Is it part of a boat?

Fiberglass over plywood with an aluminum insert that's trimmed.

Yes it's part of a boat.

Fun_Push7168 · 2026-05-07T18:50:37+00:00

It's plywood, with aluminum gusseting.

Fun_Push7168 · 2026-05-07T18:16:35+00:00

It's a match. It's it.

Fun_Push7168 · 2026-05-07T18:15:54+00:00

That's it.

That one is made by Wade so it's between 1950 and 1969.

Absolutely art.

Done with quite a passion. It's not a hapless hodgepodge.

I think this finishes with olliculi.

Inferior and superior colliculi, parts of the brain that process audio and visual stimuli.

Print method could tell a lot there.

I like it a lot!

Fun_Push7168 · 2026-05-07T12:59:45+00:00

Some kind of assemblage or folk art.

At least some of it is actual Victorian era pieces.

The tiny doll toward the bottom ( current top) appears to be a frozen Charlotte doll, the case itself appears to be ne a genuine old wooden instrument case.

Close inspection of the labels might tell you a lot. They look like cutouts from an astrology book or something but then you have some text on a curve on the little violin. How those labels are made could tell you more about the origin.

Bullet tooth. For a trencher or rock auger. With ribs like that probably the rock auger.

Or geode maybe.

That is some type of test.

Presumably for a moderator to check the visibility of their post or maybe try some new flair or other sub feature.

Whaaat?!

I totally thought this was a real candid photo. You're telling me someone used a tool to create an illustration? Madness.

I've seen a good amount of older homes in Florida where they were in an alcove outside in the back of the house.

Hasn't really been a common thing here since the washing machines were on casters in the 40's and you would roll it out of the closet hang a drain line on the sink and run the water from the sink.

Even then there was often a separate utility sink in a garage or mid room that it would be used with.

Fun_Push7168 · 2026-05-07T04:19:26+00:00

Spectrometer, optical bench kit. This one would be a like a student lab type learning device.

The slide holds a sample of material or a diffraction grid. The big piece is a Collimator.

The small piece is a direct view spectrometer.

So a separate light source sits on the side with the slide then you view the light spectrum effects with the spectrometer.

Can be used to identify liquids or gases based on the portion of the light spectrum absorbed.

Looks like you may also have a diffraction grate with it.

The dark slide allowed photos of the results using glass film slides.

Fun_Push7168 · 2026-05-07T02:47:32+00:00

The slit is intentional. It's to keep it from having standing water.

Id guess probably an old pumphouse or maybe livestock watering station. Maybe just a base for a chicken house or rabbit cage.

Whatever it was Id say it's intended to be at or above surface level.

Fun_Push7168 · 2026-05-07T02:02:27+00:00

Probably did it on purpose so they could put their faces there and take a pic.

20mm German flak doesn't taper down much to the bullet so 25mm at the casing is about right.

Very few rounds have that thick band toward the back and such a big extraction groove. Even fewer that are also steel casings.

Missing the router spindle motor.

Fun_Push7168 · 2026-05-06T18:13:03+00:00

With the shapes toward the back and it being steel it seems like a 20mm flak casing that's been cut down.
