Mum is stumped by a bizarre object found in her rental property – so do YOU know what it is?
- A woman sought advice online after finding odd objects in her rental property
- Ruth shared images of two house-shaped items stuck to the wall
- At first many thought the product was a broom, mop or dog lead holder
- But others said the unusual item was instead a key holder missing a few pieces
A woman has been left scratching her head after finding two house-shaped objects stuck to a wall in her new rental.
Seeking advice Ruth shared a series of images to a popular Australian Facebook group – but others were just as confused.
‘I just moved into a new house. The previous owners were VERY organized (far more so than me!) They had places and systems and nooks for everything,’ she wrote.
‘We can’t work out what some of the things they installed are for.’
Seeking advice, Ruth shared images to a popular Australian Facebook group after she was left scratching her head over two house-shaped objects stuck to a wall in her new rental (pictured). Many were quick to guess if the item was a broom and umbrella holder or dog lead holder, but both were incorrect
Ruth said the identical objects looked like ‘little plastic house-shaped’ items placed on the side of the fridge wall.
In the comments many were quick to guess if the item was a broom and umbrella holder or dog lead holder, but both were incorrect.
After some investigation, another person said the products are key holders that once featured two birds perched inside the tiny houses.

Once the purpose was discovered, others asked why the previous tenants only took the bird key holders and not the entire wall device.
Ruth added: ‘There aren’t any birds among the keys they left behind.’
In the kitchen she was also stumped by a strange device stuck underneath one of the cabinets.
Ruth described it as a ‘green flat thing with possibly some kind of blade or metal on one side’.

Unlike the key holder, many knew the product was a jar or lid opener
Unlike the key holder, many knew exactly what the object was and the purpose it served.
Others online informed Ruth the product is a jar or can lid opener, and similar items can be purchased online today.
‘Thank you!!! Now I just have to figure out how it works,’ Ruth wrote.
Earlier this month bargain hunters were baffled by a bizarre metal gadget that ‘looks like an old-fashioned torture device’ that was spotted in a Sydney Op Shop.

Shopper Amy, from Manly, posted a picture of the metal ornament to Facebook – asking if anyone knows what it is.
She showed a clip of device – which has scissor-like handles – moving and showing a serrated edge.
‘I saw this in the op shop today and am trying to work out what it’s for because it looks like a torture device hahaha. Anyone know?’ she wrote to Facebook group I Love To Op Shop.
Dozens of people were quick to comment, suggesting it could be a cigar cutter with others suggesting it could be a more risky device like a sex toy.
However, others rightly revealed it was an egg cutter, which is used to chop the top off from hard boiled eggs.
