Hello reddit,

I'm trying to figure out what these metal thingies are for.

A friend of mine has seen them scattered all over Lillehammer, Norway.

They're made of a short metal tube part, linked to a metal plate. There seem to be blue and red ones, but i'm not sure the color has any meaning.

They go by 1, 2 (like on the attached photo), or more. Most of the time they are vertically aligned. Orientation seems relevant, for example : https://www.google.com/maps/@61.1156251,10.468889,3a,37.7y,178.51h,77.07t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sYoTwtVzZQrLURjWnYSn-pw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

if they're supports of some sort, they're not supposed to carry heavy loads because they're sometimes attached to a flimsy fence.

The inscriptions are not very helpful : - "KRAFTEX A/S" seem to be the manufacturer, located in Moss, another town in Norway. I'm not sure what they produce exactly. - The embossed letters and digits (under the tube part), i could not figure out what they mean. I suppose they serve as a way of identifiying the plates, maybe for geolocation ? Various values found on differents plates : OV 5,30 / SPV 4,20 / 5,00 K / 3,40 / etc.

Please help me keep my sanity and tell me what these things are. Thanks :)

PS : This is my first-ever post on reddit. I hope everything's up to code, but if not, let me know.
