What Is It?

I remember visiting my husband’s step-father in the southern part of West Virginia a couple decades ago. He owned a grocery dry goods store but he also was licensed to sell guns. In fact, there wasn’t much you couldn’t find in his store. What stood out, though, was that he sold things that I’d never seen before - things that were very old or very specific in purpose.

Not sure what I mean? Well, take a look at some of the items at the What Is It blog to get an idea. Go ahead an click a set to see if you can figure out what the items are. You can click on the Answer link but do try to figure a few of the items out, first. That’s the fun of it!

The guy who runs the What Is It blog claims to have quite a collection of unusual items and from the looks of the site I’d have to agree. Now, I haven’t come across things like cat furniture or stuff that’s racy or adult in nature, but I have been pretty impressed with the various tools and other items listed here.

The only thing that would be better would be to see an actual display of this stuff so you could touch each item and really get a feel for it. Wouldn’t that make a great traveling show?
