Definitely looks like a geocache made from a soda bottle preform. would explain the 'fish eye lens' and the soda bottle style cap.

It's a key to paper towel dispensers, and toilet paper dispensers. Well, actually each side is a key. This particular one will fit Georgia Pacific products. Amazon link to this key.

Aye, I'm thinking sonic pest repelling device like these.

Well in this picture, it is a wiremold round box with a round blank coverplate on it.

With the previous photo I was pretty sure I was looking at a blanking cover, now I'm certain.

I work in a facility where similar installations occur in every location where there used to be an emergency light, before a LED retrofit integrated emergency lighting into a subset of the standard luminaires. I've also seen it when alarm systems have been upgraded, that all of the previous sounder/beacon locations that were superceded by the new system get blank covers.

We had one of these in the kitchen where I used to work. Ours was was a butter curler. Also used it when coring/hollowing out a head of cabbage for use as a bowl for dips

Edit: changed the link to a butter curler on amazon.

It's probably a coverplate for a ceiling box. Here is a similar one on Amazon.

Either there used to be a fixture there or there is a box fitted for future upgrades.

Leather punch. The little piece of removed leather pops out the side.

Jar opener. Wedge the jar lid into the teeth (two sizes for different jars), and turn.

A beer bong on a stand.

It's this white noise maker so that you don't overhear people having therapy.

u/GitEmSteveDave · 3 pointsr/whatisthisthing

It's the battery/light source for they thing they use to look in their eyes/ears. https://www.amazon.com/Welch-Allyn-71000-Direct-Rechargeable/dp/B014SNFBHQ

Typically a j-box cover plate that can be placed over a no-longer-used electric light location.

u/farptr · 19 pointsr/whatisthisthing

It is an unblown plastic soda bottle preform. They're sold as water tight small containers so this could have been used for anything.

Someone on Imgur mentioned it being a newspaper roller for creating starter logs for a fire: https://www.amazon.com/Uniflame-C-4301-Newspaper-Log-Roller/dp/B0012M9UZ6

Reminds me of a newspaper log roller, but it would have to have a handle for that and wood seems a poor choice of material. Are there holes on the side?
