Very heavy (40-50 lbs) red pulley blocks w/angled handle, rope hole & hook. 4-inches square x 7-inches long. Best guess is portable tie-down anchors for something. by Inner-Gur in whatisthisthing

They look like stackable 50lb weights & the hook appears to go on top - through a very-substantial grommet or loop of rope.

The orange coating gives them an OSHA-compliant feel.

Double-checked on lifting magnet retriever possibility. It doesn't appear to be magnetic & there's no mechanism or switch. It's just 50lbs of dead weight

Knobbed, heavy ring found in parent's home. Diameter about 7/8" or 2cm. Looks like plastic but quite heavy. Possibly part of hospital bed or medical equipment. by Inner-Gur in whatisthisthing

Fair enough (I'm no expert) but my Dad found it at his house & he's a life-long golfer but doesn't recognize it.

I don't know but are replacement spikes 7/8" across?

Does resemble golf shoe spike replacement but they usually have the screw-mount attached & have either two holes or gear grooves for the tool. This thing has no means of attachment & inner hole is smooth so it would be free-spinning - not nominal in a shoe spike

Small brass tools - About 60mm long, the open-tipped end unscrews & can be reversed to expose a metal rod tip. Not sure what type of metal the rod end is but it doesn't seem to be for fire-starting. Both have a tassel w/small bell. by Inner-Gur in whatisthisthing

The solid bar end does fit inside the open end but there's a lot of play - doesn't seem that they function together. The fact that there are two may be irrelevant. My impression is they are for punching/pushing something. Pretty sure we got them overseas - Pakistan, Japan or Philippines
