### 🔍 **Mystery Item #3: Metal Cylinder with Spikes Inside**

Roughly the size of a can of soda, this heavy metal piece has sharp spikes inside and a crank on one side. Is it a vintage meat tenderizer? A nut grinder? Or something else entirely?

📝 **Clue:** Found in a box labeled “kitchen tools,” but no one’s quite sure.

### 🔍 **Mystery Item #4: Ceramic Tube with a Flared End**

Made of glazed ceramic and open at both ends, this tube has a slightly flared edge like a trumpet. Too small to be musical, too smooth to be plumbing — what could it be?

📝 **Clue:** Found near antique medical tools. Possibly… Victorian?

### 🔍 **Mystery Item #5: Tiny Iron Press with a Wooden Handle**

Shaped like a mini iron (yes, like the kind for clothes), this tiny cast iron tool fits in the palm of your hand. Some suggest it was used for doll clothes, others say it’s a cobbler’s tool.

📝 **Clue:** Handle appears hand-carved. Likely over 100 years old.
