Solved! Nautical object

This 3' tall object was in the backyard or groundfloor basement of a 100+ y.o. harbor boathouse in Ventnor city, NJ. The two, painted (iron?) orbs most certainly refer to port and starboard. it seems to have been electrified, and maybe has some type of thermal couple element. suggesting a barameter or thermometer. the half-cylindrical shaped object to the left and down appears to be a removable cover or hatch.for a wooden, partially brass-coveted cabinet. It has a brass platelet engraved with something, U.S.N.-related. the top is attached with a large brasscap-like fitting. The boathouse is located approximately 250' from a working drawbridge (circa 1929-1930) that spans a 1200' - long. man-made canal.

I went through the entire manual and they're not mentioned anywhere. It's 11cm / ~4", bendy, slightly stretchy.

Thanks!

Just a customer vehicle I intend to wash, but I wanted to snap this before I tried to rinse these little needles away. They're almost invisible from a distance and arranged almost in a swirl.

Solved! Found at thrift, it has to be part of a costume but I have no idea what to search to find more info about it

They are like glasses without glass and the pink part sits on your cheeks. When you turn the battery pack on the pink parts glow red like there's LEDs behind the plastic, and it slowly fades in and out. It has to be "blush" for a costume of some kind, but does it go behind a mask or something? I'm just so freaking curious about what this would be called and how was originally meant to be worn!

New, what is it? Strange Business Card

I found this strange business card wedged in the armrest of my 1977 New Yorker. Texting this number seems to be a Georgia number. And this vehicle was made in Michigan but had a owner in Georgia, but dialing the number says it's disconnected. Anyone know what this is?

The ends are flexible and the rectangular part has adhesive at its bottom. The material is flexible plastic.
The ends would not fit into each other.

My garbage disposal wasn’t spinning and I just pulled these pieces out from it. Is this a part of the blades or some other part of the disposal or did something fall in it?

Going through a box of things from my dad and his parents and we came across this. My dad was able to tell me about everything else in the box but he has no idea what this could be. He suspects its a knick knack that his dad or mum picked up while living in England.

Solved! Iron object with wood handle

So we operate out of an old ice manufacturing facility. Every time we clean our closets, we find some other weird thing. This one is an iron stick with a wood handle (top) and an iron point (bottom). I think it's a heavy duty ice pick, but boss man wants to be sure so he can put a label on it for his museum of weird old stuff he has on the walls. Any ideas and/or reference pictures?

Keep finding these small paper/plastic tabs in my house. I initially thought it was a battery separator, but have now found maybe 5 over the past few months.

It’s small, glossy, and has a small section towards one end that appears it had maybe stuck to something or was adhesive at some point. I know there isn’t much to work with and it’s just a paper tab, but I’ve seen yall work wonders before.
