Antiques are pretty big business, as evidenced by the popularity of the PBS show “Antiques Roadshow,” but there are some items out there that would likely make even the experts shake their heads in confusion. As shared by AWM, these items just might fall in that category.
This little quiz comes complete with pics to help you figure out what they are, but that doesn’t do you much good for most of them. For example, the first item on the list is what looks to be a wooden box with a couple of drawers. It looks like it could be used for all sorts of things, and then you discover the curious looking large hole on the side.
You’ll also notice a built-in ashtray and quickly put two and two together that it involves something to do with smoking. That assumption would be correct, as this old-fashioned wooden box was actually a pipe smoking station. Pipe smoking was a pretty popular habit back in the day, but it’s gone by the wayside along with the items on the list.
