That first one is a coconut scraper. It's commonly used in SouthEast Asia. 🥥 This particular one doesn't look necessarily very antique. Nineteen 50s maybe. The same design is still being used by many
I have that lens cup and while filming a segment one time I had a intern with me and I handed him the "lens" asking him to hold it for a second and said don't drop this it's very expensive and right as it was about to change hands I dropped it. The look on his face as the color left his face will be something I'll never forget. The cup or lens was completely fine.
Tim that is a coconut scraper, we own one at my house, we often use it to scrape out the white flesh of the coconut for various dishes, it's very useful, our one is made entirely of metal and is screwed onto a table top in order to scrape coconuts.
Like Tim I assumed it was for scraping out the insides of softer fruits like lemons or oranges. But coconut scraper does make a lot more sense, especially seeing as it sturdily nails into the wall which implies a level of resistance you don't need with something soft like a lemon.
@@rodenreyes6320 pfft it runs on asian grandmother energy, who needs a motor lol. also the motorised ones are far more dangerous because they can easily hurt the user if the blades catch or the base cannot properly attach to a countertop or smth. much rather use it by hand.
I like how the coconut scraper (even the recently bought ones) in most of our homes is the same as was probably more than a hundred years ago. Guess all are happy with it's design and ease of use, and no one bothers to over engineer and overcomplicate the coconut grater.
I loved hearing the "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" getting slower and more ominous the whole time. It was like I was expecting the boogeyman to pop out when the song was done. I know that wasn't intentional but I found this endlessly amusing!
No foolin. You got one of those? I had a Led zeppelin album cover that had dried watercolors on it. "In through the outdoor". I found out the hard way. I got it wet, next thing I knew it was like an easter egg coloring class gone awry. 😆
I mean it could be a mother because the mothers do take care of the chicka after they come back from fishing in Julyish we don't know how old the baby is to be certain
Another great one! It's a nice break from all the negative crap in the world, to see the cleverness and imaginativeness of people. There's a bit of a public service in that. Thanks!
I dont know why but this video made me feel strangely at peace. Watching him enjoy the smallest almost mundane little things was... refreshing... finding joy in the smaller things in life is such a great thing. I thank you for bringing a smile to my face and a tear to my eye.
The other day I watched someone going through some antiques. He came across one marked 'foreign', and mentioned that during WW2, items made in Germany would sometimes be marked that way for sales in North America and elsewhere, because otherwise people didn't want to buy them, fearing that doing so would be seen as supporting the German war effort. Great video! I thought the coconut scraper might have bee a tool for hollowing out the bowl of a wooden spoon. lol Oops. In hindsight, the coconut scraper makes much more sense. Cheers!
@@Oliver-ku1tf As a matter of fact, I HAVE! And not only did they provide me with that whisper-quiet miracle machine, but they also threw in a bottle of Sun-and-Run, the sun block that is also a laxative!
I've never seen a coconut scrapper exactly like that one. That circular design is usually seen in the electric ones, which are usually attached to wet grinders. Manual ones we normally use in home aren't designed like that. They're flat. And you scrape the coconut over the teeth. Takes 10 minutes for me, mum does it in 1 minute. (And with electric ones, it would barely take 10 seconds) Rotating the handle and holding the coconut at the same time sounds very difficult tho
You made me smile today. I used to scrape the coconut for my Ammachi (Grandmother) and I took forever. She could do it so fast and got everything down to the shell out. We had a scraper that was built on a little footstool-type platform, and you would sit on it with the coconut between your legs and get good leverage that way. And yes, it was flat, not spherical.
Well that is a coconut scraper, makes very tiny shavings to extract coconut milk and oil. Pretty much found in every household in Singapore and India too…..
"Made in Japan" Me: see the "Made in China" sticker Me: also realizes Tim is reading from the SIDE of the mug which has "Made in Japan" as part of the gag. Me: *chuckles*
4:38 I walked along the avenue I never thought I'd meet a girl like you Meet a girl like you With auburn hair and tawny eyes The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through Hypnotize me through And I ran, I ran so far away I just ran, I ran all night and day I couldn't get away A cloud appears above your head A beam of light comes shining down on you Shining down on you The cloud is moving nearer still Aurora borealis comes in view Aurora comes in view And I ran, I ran so far away I just ran, I ran all night and day I couldn't get away Reached out a hand to touch your face You're slowly disappearing from my view 'Pearing from my view Reached out a hand to try again I'm floating in a beam of light with you A beam of light with you And I ran, I ran so far away I just ran, I ran all night and day And I ran, I ran so far away I just ran, I couldn't get away
I think it would work it would work better with coconuts. Placing the device on the floor and your knee on the board for leverage. My grandmother's use something similar but it is just one plank of wood and one round pointy blade
Totally a coconut meat shredder. They're usually stationary, though. I Think this would be difficult to use. The old ones are mounted on a log that one sits on. One's weight keeps it in place while one moves the coconut shell around to shred out the meat, inside.
The coloring book is kinda like the album cover to Led Zeppelins In Through the OutDoor. They had six different album covers of the same image, but of different camera angles. On top of that, If you look closely, you can see little dots, they're dried watercolors. I found out the hard way. If you have that album cover and insist on putting it to the test, use caution. Pick an inconspicuous spot and just touch it with a damp Q-tip. If it gets too wet, it'll screw up the album cover. Colors will run all over it.
As evidenced by the red stripe and the L in the product name, the lens is meant to mimic Canon's F-series lenses, which are usually of higher quality and price than non-red-striped offerings.
That 1st thing is a coconut scraper, and one of those is currently in use in my house, i never cared about it but when he said antiques piece the respect towards the coconut scraper increased 100 folds in my heart.
The first thing is not a juicer but is used for shredding dry coconuts jelly out of a shell. The white coconut jelly grows hard as the coconut dries, and does not want to come out of the shell so you mount this grinder thing to a tables edge and grind away. The hardened jelly comes out as a granulated milky substance that is then used in Caribbean creole cooking. You do need to mount this to the edge of a table though and I don't understand why yours comes without a clamp. Maybe I'm wrong but it certainly looks like a coconut jelly grinder.
You know you're old when you realize that so many toys from your childhood needed to be wound up. I'm going back to sleep now until the nurse brings my medication.😊❤❤❤
I think the Bambi one is for a visitor's book. It was placed outside your door so if your friends popped in they could write on it 'I came by, you were not home, I come back after six' or something. Also mailmen could write on it, 'I came with a large packet, come pick it up from post office'
That first one is actually a coconut scraper for making coconut strips which is used in many things. Here in the Philippines There are a lot of motorized scrapers and spoons attached to stools
I've got an idea for a YT channel - we're going to take my English grandpa to the goodwill and let him spend like $45 and then explain all the little knick-knacks he finds to the camera!
I think it is some sort of hair curler. Mind you, this is all speculation: Ladies would bunch up long wet hiar into bundles, hold the ends of the bundles in cupped hand around the whatsit, then as they turn the handle the vanes grab the ends of the hairs and twists the bundle she is holding in her hand. It's easy to release the hair from the gadget because only the tips are being grabbed. Quick way to twist bundles of wet hair which are tied, let to dry and produce waves and curls in the ladies' locks :)
@1:06 seriously? LOL! Took me a second to know what it's for. Well, perhaps, growing up in a well nigh Chinese/Indonesian community has given me an edge. We EVEN have the older version of that coconut meat (the matured variety) scraper. The one where you you need TO SIT on it. oh those OLDEN days. 😀😀😀
the first one is something used to scrape coconuts. I'm from India and my family has one (although not the exact same design) and we use it all the time to scrape coconuts.
I would have used the first one as a Juicer/pulper as well, but after reading the comments, it seems to be a coconut scraper, to get all the meat out of the nut, and that makes perfect sense to me as well, and I think it might have been good at both, but After thinking about it, it does look kinda small for a coconut, I would have thought a bit bigger but who am I to argue? LOL THanks for sharing Tim! Always get a kick out of your vids!
I know some have said a coconut reamer, but I think the working bit is too small. I say a citrus reamer. For oranges and smaller. Back then most citrus were overall smaller, and pulp was considered part of the thing, both for health and decoration.
That first one is a coconut scraper. It's commonly used in SouthEast Asia. 🥥 This particular one doesn't look necessarily very antique. Nineteen 50s maybe. The same design is still being used by many
Well I'll be... A short Google search and there it is (although newer looking!).
Yeah; he was on the right track, just wrong fruit, haha
dude I got one!
we still use this at our home in bengal- india
That’s nuts
I have that lens cup and while filming a segment one time I had a intern with me and I handed him the "lens" asking him to hold it for a second and said don't drop this it's very expensive and right as it was about to change hands I dropped it.

XD you are _evil_
I've done that with a fake egg multiple times haha, nice story
It's all fun and games til your telephoto lens gets filled with coffee.
And now you know to never give him a camera lens again
I've been watching Tim since I was young. He helps me relax! Thanks for still making these vids after all these years, yall!
Legend
Same… except every once in a while he does loud toys or whistles 😅
You like Thegaminglemon?
In 2 years time I will be able to say that!
0:11 thats a coconut grinder, it grinds the inside of a cut coconut
I would assume something similar. Pulping the inside of fruits. But I'm sure it's perfectly serviceable as a makeshift juicer as well
Tim that is a coconut scraper, we own one at my house, we often use it to scrape out the white flesh of the coconut for various dishes, it's very useful, our one is made entirely of metal and is screwed onto a table top in order to scrape coconuts.
Well explained!
We wanted to get a motorized one but then we realized we only break it out like twice a month
Like Tim I assumed it was for scraping out the insides of softer fruits like lemons or oranges. But coconut scraper does make a lot more sense, especially seeing as it sturdily nails into the wall which implies a level of resistance you don't need with something soft like a lemon.
It's for scraping the inside of a coconut which is somewhat soft.
@@mamuteddymad sure, but is it as soft as lemon
Coconut scraper definitely. It has sharp AND SERRATED edges. Used in South India too.
Coconut grater, but I doubt if it does a good job...looks flimsy.Graters today have at least a half horsepower motor.
@@rodenreyes6320 pfft it runs on asian grandmother energy, who needs a motor lol. also the motorised ones are far more dangerous because they can easily hurt the user if the blades catch or the base cannot properly attach to a countertop or smth. much rather use it by hand.
First one is a Coconut Scraper
spot on
They have modern ones with a motor which us terrifying
Exactly
Indian 🇮🇳
The guys on Sorted Food showed the Electric version and we're completely terrified of it.
some of these items may have been replaced by newer ones, but tim is irreplaceable 💗
I like how the coconut scraper (even the recently bought ones) in most of our homes is the same as was probably more than a hundred years ago. Guess all are happy with it's design and ease of use, and no one bothers to over engineer and overcomplicate the coconut grater.
My grandpa had one of those lens mugs when I was little. I found it endlessly fascinating.
Mr Rowett is honestly one of the most likable human being existent out there!
1st one we still use daily here in Sri Lanka and south asia in general, it's a coconut scraper.
hello sri lankan brother!!
@@mibber121 🙏 well hello to you too..
I loved hearing the "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" getting slower and more ominous the whole time. It was like I was expecting the boogeyman to pop out when the song was done. I know that wasn't intentional but I found this endlessly amusing!
Are you sure it wasn't the "Alphabet Song?" There are a few other songs that share this same melody!
@@JV-pu8kx it's the melody of "Altijd is kortjakje ziek" in the Netherlands, a children's song about a prostitute :)
Why do I get really excited every time Tim shows something that I also have? It just makes me feel super cool! 😁😁 (I have a reverse colouring book)
Ah, but Im sure your cool all the same.
No foolin. You got one of those? I had a Led zeppelin album cover that had dried watercolors on it. "In through the outdoor". I found out the hard way. I got it wet, next thing I knew it was like an easter egg coloring class gone awry. 😆
Tim talking a million miles an hour over the top of the gentle twinkle twinkle music really fried my brain
Love the that the Twinkle Twinkle from the wind-up penguin goes on for several minutes as he takes a look at the other stuff
It is still used in our kitchens...
Not as a juicer but as a coconut scraper...
It’s an Emperor Penguin, so it’s a dad, not a mother. Lovely toys, as always. Thank you Tim ❤
I mean it could be a mother because the mothers do take care of the chicka after they come back from fishing in Julyish we don't know how old the baby is to be certain
@@lrmclinn Prolly one of the pregnant males one hears so much about these days..

Tim, I enjoy your fascination with toys and unusual things. We really appreciate your channel.
Item #2, Letter Holder for OUTGOING mail. A reminder to take them to the post office (Disney Bambi Themed).

I'm thinking that camera lens may be for sneaking more than coffee where it may not belong
U wouldn't b the first 2 think that, & I TOTALLY AGREE
It's definitely a coconut grater
Tim, thank you for your videos, I genuinely appreciate them. They are so entertaining and heartwarming.

The little music box playing throughout makes the video all the more charming.
I know the one in the thumbnail because I saw it on the back of a copy of _Cook’s Illustrated._ It’s for grating coconut.
I know its a coconut scraper now but that works way better than a typical juicer
I was thinking the same thing. I thought that it had some similarities to a coconut scraper that I’ve used.
Well yeah, isn't your typical juicer just pressing the orange firmly on your forehead until liquid comes out into your waiting glass?
@@ccggenius Have you tried the Juice Loosener? I put in a bag of oranges and it gave me a whole few drops!
@@Oliver-ku1tf As a matter of fact, I HAVE! And not only did they provide me with that whisper-quiet miracle machine, but they also threw in a bottle of Sun-and-Run, the sun block that is also a laxative!

The first one is a coconut scraper, and the seagulls are for eating Whelk shellfish.
The juicer things is used for coconut flesh (matured coconut) scraper in South East Asia. It a must have tool in a Sri Lankan households!

That wallet would probably be a good place to store novelty business cards
Thé first one is a coconut scraper. I still have it at my home.
I love the demonstration of drinking from the "lens". Really enjoy your videos Tim 💙
Love a table full of turnip cubes with gulls spiked into them. Also appreciate Tim having the strength of character to drink a bit of his own juice
Like someone said, the first one is a coconut meat scraper. Nowadays there are motorized units.
4:38
I walked along the avenue
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
Meet a girl like you
With auburn hair and tawny eyes
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
Hypnotize me through
And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you
The cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora borealis comes in view
Aurora comes in view
And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away
Reached out a hand to touch your face
You're slowly disappearing from my view
'Pearing from my view
Reached out a hand to try again
I'm floating in a beam of light with you
A beam of light with you
And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I couldn't get away
Ah. I get it. Flock of Seagulls, very good.

It’s a coconut scraper!

actually knew about the camera lens mug because i saw it when i was a child, maybe in tv or something
A group of seagulls can be called a "squabble"! 😄
I wonder why 🤔
Coconut scraper definitely.
First one is an inquisition's truth machine
Best episode of horders I've ever seen.
what about a string winder? various strings might overlap and form a braiding, or maybe the same thing for winding yarn

Did you put the beaver back together?
I had that lens mug!
Yes coconut shredder. Common in Indonesia and probably elsewhere.
This thumbnail has been on my searches since it came out.
Your Enthusiasm is.... Contagious
Yes it's definitely a coconut de-flesher! I've often seen them on cookery programs.
I know some have said a coconut reamer, but I think the working bit is too small. I say a citrus reamer. For oranges and smaller. Back then most citrus were overall smaller, and pulp was considered part of the thing, both for health and decoration.
Looks like it would be good at scooping out passionfruit shells🤔🇦🇺👍
That is not s Juicer it is used for grating coconut fruit in India. It nicely grates and comes in different models.
